This invention discloses a
furfuryl alcohol copolymer-coated
ammonium polyphosphate and its application in the preparation of
flame-retardant composite materials, belonging to the field of
flame-retardant materials technology. The invention involves mixing
furfuryl alcohol,
electron-accepting monomers, crosslinking agents, and initiators with
ammonium polyphosphate in a solution, causing
furfuryl alcohol,
electron-accepting monomers, and crosslinking monomers to precipitate and polymerize on the surface of the
ammonium polyphosphate, forming a furfuryl
alcohol copolymer-coated
ammonium polyphosphate. This furfuryl
alcohol copolymer-coated
ammonium polyphosphate, as a
flame retardant, can be compounded with
polyurethane foam,
thermoplastic polymers, and thermosetting polymers to prepare
polyurethane foam flame-retardant composite materials,
thermoplastic flame-retardant
polymer composite materials, and thermosetting flame-retardant
polymer composite materials, respectively. The furfuryl
alcohol copolymer-coated
ammonium polyphosphate exhibits good dispersibility in the
polymer matrix, good interfacial compatibility, and is easily modified, significantly improving the flame-retardant properties of the
composite material while maintaining its excellent mechanical properties.
