A novel CaO·4B2O3·2H2O–SiO2 nanocomposite with good thermal stability has been in situ synthesized, in which the SiO2 nanospheres are supported on the CaO·4B2O3·2H2O nanosheets. As a comparison, single CaO·4B2O3 ·2H2O nanosheet with the thickness of 100 nm, single SiO2 nanosphere with the diameter of about 100 nm, and their physical mixture were also prepared, respectively. On the basis of characterizations of XRD, FT-IR, TGA, SEM and TEM, the fire performance of CaO·4B2O3 ·2H2O–SiO2 nanocomposite to polypropylene was studied. It is demonstrated that the flame retardancy of prepared sample was prominently stronger than those of single CaO·4B2O3 ·2H2O nanosheet and their physical mixture. Furthermore, the mechanical property of polypropylene/CaO·4B2O3·2H2O–SiO2 composite was also assessed. The possible formation mechanism of the nanocomposite and its flame-retardant mechanism were put forward. It has prospect as possible flame retardant to polypropylene and other polymers.

The flame retardancy of a thermally stable flame retardant, poly(bisphenol phenyl dichlovophosphate) (PBCL) and its synergistic effect with ammonium polyphosphate were studied in ABS. TG result indicated the good thermal stability and char-forming ability of PBCL. Thermal stability and flammability properties of ABS/APP/PBCL composites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), oxygen index test (LOI) and micro calorimeter calculate test (MCC). The results showed that the synergistic effect of APP and PBCL improved the thermal stability and flame retardancy of ABS, which was favorable to yield more stable layer at higher temperature and enhanced the char residue of ABS resin.

A kind of coral-like melamine formaldehyde resins/carbon nanotubes (MF/CNTs) composite particles were prepared via in situ polymerization, which showed good thermal stability under 450[Formula: see text]C. To illustrate the mechanism of the polymer growth process, silica/CNTs were also prepared via the same method to achieve a contrast. Generally, two models were used to illustrate silica growth mechanism, the monomer addition one and the controlled aggregation one. We preferred that the monomer addition model could explain the growth of the novel coral-like MF/CNTs particles.

In this study, flame retardant microcapsules were synthesized using magnesium hydroxide as core materials, melamine resin as the shell material. The structure, diameters and thermal properties of prepared microcapsules were investigated by using FTIR, ELS, DSC and TGA. The effects of core/shell ratio on the properties of microcapsules were studied.Flame retardant materials of low-density polyethylene/magnesium hydroxide microcapsules were prepared.The tensile strength and elongation at break tests were performed to determine its mechanical property.Inflammability of the materials was also studied.The results showed the prepared magnesium hydroxide microcapsule shows good thermal stability and it has free compatibility with the polymer.The composites of HDPE/MH microcapsules have good performance.

In this paper, the sol-gel method was used for in-situ synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on cotton fabrics with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of acid and alkaline indicators. The samples were characterized using by (X-ray diffraction) XRD, (scanning electron Microscopy) SEM, (Inductively coupled plasma) ICP, water drop test and also the flame retardant properties were studied by char yield. The SEM images showed that the nanoparticles are spherical in shape and the acidity or alkalinity of the medium has an effect on the formation of particles. The XRD patterns showed the typical diffraction of amorphous SiO2 (Si-O short-order structure), also ICP analysis showed that by washing the fabrics, the nanoparticles are still present on the fabric, and this indicated the stability of the washing of the fabrics impregnated with the nanoparticles. By in-situ synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles, the flame retardant properties have been improved significantly and the amount of residual char was increased and samples were observed to be hydrophilic.
