The invention relates to the technical field of
flame-retardant
high polymer materials, in particular to
flame-retardant modified expandable
graphite and a preparation method thereof.The method comprises the steps that firstly, 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-
oxide is prepared into a
dichloromethane solution, then a catalyst and a
silane coupling agent are added, the mixture is stirred for a reaction, and the
flame-retardant modified expandable
graphite is obtained; and finally, carrying out rotary
evaporation to obtain a modified
oxide, preparing an
ethanol solution from the modified
oxide, adjusting the pH value to 3-4, carrying out stirring reaction on the
ethanol solution and the
ethanol solution of the expandable
graphite, and filtering and
drying to obtain the modified expandable graphite. According to the method, the
thermal stability and the
charring capacity of the expandable graphite are improved, the problem of non-uniform distribution of the flame retardant is avoided, more carbon
layers can be promoted to be generated in the
combustion process, and the flame-retardant purpose is achieved; the method is simple to operate and mild in reaction condition, the
phosphorus flame retardant and the expansible graphite have a synergistic effect, and the modified expansible graphite is good in
thermal stability and high in high-temperature carbon residue amount.
