Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flame retardant material synthesis, and relates to a bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid synergistic flame retardant nylon 6 composite material, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nylon 6 fiber products are widely used in various industries due to their high strength, good wear resistance, and excellent elasticity. However, like most chemical fiber products, nylon 6 produces molten dripping when heated or burned. When the molten drippings, carrying the heat from the combustion, separate from the substrate, there is a potential for ignition of nearby flammable materials, further posing a greater risk of fire expansion or spread, making them extremely dangerous in practical applications. With growing awareness of safety, the development and application of flame-retardant nylon 6 composites have become a research priority for major scientific research institutions and R&D companies. Flame retardant nylon 6 is often achieved by adding flame retardants. Common flame retardants include halogen-based flame retardants, phosphorus-based flame retardants, boron-based flame retardants, nitrogen-based flame retardants, silicon-based flame retardants, halogen-phosphorus-based flame retardants, phosphorus-nitrogen-based flame retardants, and bio-based flame retardants. Halogenated flame retardants inevitably produce toxic gases that are harmful to health during use. While other flame retardants offer advantages such as low toxicity and smoke, they still suffer from issues such as low flame retardancy and deterioration in thermal stability and mechanical properties. Therefore, the development of a new flame retardant is crucial.

[0003] Phytic acid (PA) is a bio-based phosphorus-based flame retardant monomer and an environmentally friendly flame retardant found primarily in grains, soybeans, and oilseeds. The PA structure contains six phosphate functional groups, with a phosphorus content of up to 28% by weight. These functional groups have a wide range of functions, including participating in acid-base neutralization reactions to form salts, interacting with positively charged molecules, and chelating metal ions. This ability to chelate metal ions can be exploited to construct chelates with metal ions in bimetallic layered hydroxides. Due to their layered structure, bimetallic layered hydroxides act as a physical barrier during combustion, inhibiting the release of smoke and toxic gases. Once released, the phosphorus-containing groups in PA can capture active free radicals, thereby preventing the spread of combustion. Therefore, chelating PA and bimetallic layered hydroxides together is expected to combine the advantages of both substances to form a new flame retardant. Although CN113666427A discloses a phytic acid-modified transition metal layered double hydroxide, which reacts the highly chelating phosphate groups in PA with the metal ions in the transition metal layered double hydroxide to form a Metal-OP bond, the resulting PA-modified transition metal layered double hydroxide is used as a water oxidation electrocatalyst in electrocatalytic water splitting. However, research on using phytic acid-modified nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide as a flame retardant for nylon 6 has not yet been reported. Summary of the Invention

The reaction solution was filtered, and the precipitate was collected and rinsed with anhydrous ethanol 305 times, and dried at 800-100°C for 100-16 h.

[0008] (2) Preparation of a bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid / nylon 6 composite material: The bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid and nylon 6 in step (1) were melt-mixed at 2450-270° C., and then extruded through a twin-screw extruder.

The composite material is prepared from nylon 6, bimetallic layered hydroxide, and phytic acid. The phosphate functional groups in the phytic acid can chelate with the metal ions in the bimetallic layered hydroxide, thereby forming a novel flame retardant. During combustion, the catalytically active metal ions in the bimetallic layered hydroxide portion catalyze the carbonization of the nylon 6, forming a protective carbonaceous layer on its surface, effectively inhibiting the expansion and spread of the fire. Furthermore, its unique layered structure acts as a physical barrier during nylon 6 combustion, suppressing the release of smoke and toxic gases. During combustion and decomposition, the phytic acid portion produces compounds such as phosphoric acid and pyrophosphate, which readily capture free radicals and also catalyze carbonization, helping to block the spread of combustion. Furthermore, upon thermal decomposition, the flame retardant can generate metal oxides, metal phosphates, and substances with a carbon aromatic network structure, further forming a dense carbon layer that suppresses the emission of smoke and toxic gases. Compared with pure nylon 6, the nylon 6 composite material formed by adding a certain amount of bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid flame retardant to nylon 6 has a significant decrease in its peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release rate (THR), a greatly improved limiting oxygen index (LOI), and a vertical burning test (UL-94) reaching V-0 level, which shows that the flame retardant properties of the composite material are very excellent.

[0021] The present invention also provides a preparation method of a bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid synergistic flame-retardant nylon 6 composite material. The preparation method has abundant raw material sources, is simple to operate, and is suitable for scale-up production.

[0040] (4) Preparation of NiCo-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material: 3 g of NiCo-LDH@PA and 97 g of nylon 6 were melt-mixed at 245 °C, then extruded through a twin-screw extruder at a screw speed of 40 rpm, and finally pelletized to prepare 4 × 5 × 2 mm nylon 6 composite materials containing 3% NiCo-LDH@PA.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] A NiCo-LDH@PA synergistic flame-retardant nylon 6 composite material is prepared by, by weight percentage, 95% nylon 6, 4.6% NiCo-LDH, and 0.4% PA. The specific preparation method is as follows:

[0043] (1) Preparation of Ni-ZIF: 2.8 g of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and 2.8 g of 2-methylimidazole were ultrasonically dispersed in 200 ml of methanol. After mixing, the mixture was magnetically stirred at 25°C for 1 h. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation to retain the precipitate. The precipitate was washed five times with methanol and dried in an oven at 80°C for 5 h to obtain Ni-ZIF.

[0044] (2) Preparation of NiCo-LDH: 2.8 g Ni-ZIF and 5.6 g Co(NO3)2·6H2O were ultrasonically dispersed in 500 ml of anhydrous ethanol. After magnetic stirring for 30 min, the stirred solution was transferred to a high-pressure reactor and reacted at 120°C for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the product was centrifuged to remove the supernatant and retain the precipitate. The precipitate was washed three times with ethanol and three times with water, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the final product, NiCo-LDH.

[0045] (3) Preparation of NiCo-LDH@PA: 4.0 g of NiCo-LDH was dissolved in 150 ml of anhydrous ethanol and ultrasonicated for 1 h to form a uniform suspension. 100 ml of PA and 100 ml of water were added to the suspension at a rate of 1.5 ml / min. The mixture was reacted at 30 °C for 1 h and the precipitate was collected by filtration. The precipitate was rinsed with anhydrous ethanol five times and dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 12 h to obtain the NiCo-LDH@PA product.

[0046] (4) Preparation of NiCo-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material: 5 g of NiCo-LDH@PA and 95 g of nylon 6 were melt-mixed at 245 °C, then extruded through a twin-screw extruder at a screw speed of 40 rpm, and finally pelletized to prepare 4 × 5 × 2 mm nylon 6 composite materials containing 5% NiCo-LDH@PA.

[0047] The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release rate (THR) of nylon 6 composite materials with different NiCo-LDH@PA contents in Example 10 and Example 3 were tested, and the experimental results were as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. Figure 2 The pHHR trend diagram of pure nylon 6 and NiCo-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material in Example 103 is shown in FIG. Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with pure nylon, as the addition amount of NiCo-LDH@PA in nylon 6 increases, the corresponding pHRR decreases continuously. When 2.0wt.%, 3.0wt.%, and 5.0wt.% NiCo-LDH@PA are added to nylon 6, the peak heat release rate (pHRR) of the corresponding composites decreases by 39.2%, 43.3%, and 48.6%, respectively, compared with pure nylon. Figure 3 The THR trend diagram of pure nylon 6 and NiCo-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material in Example 103 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 It can be seen that, compared to pure nylon, increasing the amount of NiCo-LDH@PA added to nylon 6 also results in a decreasing total heat release rate (THR) compared to pure nylon. When 2.0 wt.%, 3.0 wt.%, and 5.0 wt.% NiCo-LDH@PA were added to nylon 6, the total heat release rate (THR) of the corresponding composites decreased by 15.6%, 16.8%, and 19.2%, respectively, compared to pure nylon. Furthermore, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) for pure nylon 6, nylon 6 containing 2.0 wt.% NiCo-LDH@PA, nylon 6 containing 3.0 wt.% NiCo-LDH@PA, and nylon 6 containing 5.0 wt.% NiCo-LDH@PA was calculated to be 21.0%, 27.2%, 28.5%, and 30.2%, respectively. The increasing LOI indicates that the addition of NiCo-LDH@PA to nylon 6 makes it less flammable. At the same time, the vertical combustion test (UL-94) corresponding to the nylon 6 composite materials with different addition amounts can all reach V-0 level. In summary, the composite materials of the present invention have excellent flame retardant properties.

After the reaction was completed, the product was centrifuged to remove the supernatant and leave the precipitate. The precipitate was washed three times with ethanol and water respectively, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the final product CoAl-LDH.

[0052] (3) Preparation of CoAl-LDH@PA: 3.6 g of CoAl-LDH was dissolved in 140 ml of anhydrous ethanol and sonicated for 1 h to form a uniform suspension. 75 ml of PA and 75 ml of water were added to the suspension at a rate of 1.5 ml / min. The mixture was reacted at 30°C for 1 h and the precipitate was collected by filtration. The precipitate was rinsed with anhydrous ethanol five times and dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the CoAl-LDH@PA product.

[0053] (4) Preparation of CoAl-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material: 4 g of CoAl-LDH@PA and 96 g of nylon 6 were melt-mixed at 245 °C, then extruded through a twin-screw extruder at a screw speed of 40 rpm, and finally pelletized to prepare 4 × 5 × 2 mm nylon 6 composite materials containing 4% CoAl-LDH@PA.

[0054] Example 5

[0055] A MgAl-LDH@PA synergistic flame-retardant nylon 6 composite material is prepared from 98% nylon 6, 1.8% MgAl-LDH, and 0.2% PA by weight. The specific preparation method is as follows:

[0056] (1) Preparation of Mg-ZIF: 2.0 g of Mg(NO3)2 and 2.4 g of 2-methylimidazole were ultrasonically dispersed in 120 ml of methanol. After mixing, the mixture was magnetically stirred at 25°C for 1 h. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation to retain the precipitate. The precipitate was washed five times with methanol and dried in an oven at 80°C for 5 h to obtain Mg-ZIF.

[0057] (2) Preparation of MgAl-LDH: 2 g of Mg-ZIF and 4 g of Al(NO3)3 were ultrasonically dispersed in 400 ml of anhydrous ethanol. After magnetic stirring for 30 min, the stirred solution was transferred to a high-pressure reactor and reacted at 120°C for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the product was centrifuged to remove the supernatant and retain the precipitate. The precipitate was washed three times with ethanol and three times with water, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the final product, MgAl-LDH.

[0058] (3) Preparation of MgAl-LDH@PA: 3.4 g of MgAl-LDH was dissolved in 120 ml of anhydrous ethanol and ultrasonicated for 1 h to form a uniform suspension. 50 ml of PA and 50 ml of water were added to the suspension at a rate of 1.5 ml / min. The mixture was reacted at 30°C for 1 h and the precipitate was collected by filtration. The precipitate was rinsed with anhydrous ethanol four times and dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the MgAl-LDH@PA product.

[0059] (4) Preparation of MgAl-LDH@PA / nylon 6 composite material: 2 g of MgAl-LDH@PA and 98 g of nylon 6 were melt-mixed at 245 °C, then extruded through a twin-screw extruder at a screw speed of 40 rpm, and finally pelletized to produce 4 × 5 × 2 mm nylon 6 composite materials containing 2% MgAl-LDH@PA.

[0060] Similarly, the peak heat release rate (pHRR), total heat release rate (THR), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning test (UL-94) were measured for the composite material in Example 405. The experimental results obtained showed the same trend as the composite material in Example 103, indicating that the addition of double metal layered hydroxides such as CoAl-LDH@PA and MgAl-LDH@PA to nylon 6 can also improve the flame retardant properties of the material.

[0061] In summary, the present invention provides a bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid synergistic flame-retardant nylon 6 composite material. Compared to pure nylon 6, by adding a certain amount of bimetallic layered hydroxide / phytic acid flame retardant to nylon 6, the resulting composite material significantly reduces both the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and the total heat release rate (THR), while significantly increases the limiting oxygen index (LOI), and can achieve V-0 in the vertical burning test (UL-94). This demonstrates that the composite material exhibits excellent flame retardancy.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting.
