Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a polycarbonate-polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite and its application in flame-retardant polycarbonate, and belongs to the technical field of flame-retardant materials. Background technique [0002] Polycarbonate (PC) has a high melt viscosity, is difficult to process, difficult to produce large-scale products, and is prone to stress cracking, and has poor solvent resistance, abrasion resistance, boiling water resistance, high temperature foaming, and good aging resistance. Poor, transparent PC products deteriorate due to hot air aging or hot water aging during storage, processing and use, such as reduced impact strength, surface cracks, yellowing and loss of gloss, which affect the normal use of their products . PC has a high thermal decomposition temperature (310°C) and has certain flame retardancy (oxygen index of 24%). PC is self-extinguishing and emits carbon dioxide when burned. Its flame retardancy i...

Problems solved by technology

However, the currently used phosphate ester has low hydrolysis stability and is volatile (mostly liquid), which reduces the thermal performance of the flame retardant material. In addition, the phosphate ester flame retardant PC is prone to stress cracking, transparency decreases, thermal stability deteriorates, and high temperature dimensions poor stability

Phosphazenes are flame retardant and contain phosphorus and nitrogen at the same time, and they are high-melting solids with good thermal stability. For example, the molecules contain reactive functional groups and can react with groups on PC, so they have been favored by people in recent years. Attention, in the past three years, there have been many patents on phosphazene as a PC flame retardant, but this type of flame retardant system is still in the development stage, some problems have yet to be resolved, and there may be the possibility of industrialization

(3) Sulfur-containing flame retardant PC, such as aromatic sulfonate (alkali metal or alkaline earth metal) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (combined with polytetrafluoroethylene), this technology has already been seen in the 1970s Early U.S. Patent (USP 3,775,367), but with variations in flame-retardant polycarbonate transparency and heat resistance

In addition, sulfonate can promote the decomposition of polycarbonate, which significantly reduces the thermal stability of flame-retardant polycarbonate

Moreover, there are inconsistent or unreliable flame retardant levels when used alone, and it needs to be used in conjunction with other flame retardants (such as halogens); at the same time, the mechanism of sulfonate flame retardant PC has not yet been fully understood.
