Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of preparation of flame-retardant composite materials, and relates to a preparation method of MOFs-based composite material for flame-retardant polyester, a product thereof and application of the product. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), commonly known as polyester, is the synthetic fiber with the largest output and excellent performance in the world, and is widely used in clothing, home, building and other fields. However, polyester is extremely flammable, and the limiting oxygen index is only 19% to 22%, which is easy to melt and shrink under the action of fire to form a large amount of melt drops, causing secondary combustion and even secondary disasters, and there is a serious safety hazard. Therefore, it is of important practical significance to study the flame retardation of polyester to improve its safety.

[0003] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a class of promising advanced porous materials have attracted extensive attention in the fields of gas storage, gas separation, chemical sensors, catalysis, etc. Scientists have designed and synthesized MOFs with various particle forms and excellent performance. It has been proved that the method of blending MOF particles into polymer matrix is an effective method for preparing MOF-polymer composites. The advantages of MOFs are as follows: (1) better compatibility with polymer matrix, strong interaction with polymer chains, and no need for any organic modification; (2) the organic ligand in the structure of MOFs not only helps to improve the compatibility, but also provides flame-retardant elements or groups, including nitrogen-containing groups and aromatic structures, and the transition metal oxides produced by pyrolysis of the organic ligand have a positive catalytic effect on promoting the formation of carbon and inhibiting the release of smoke; (3) the high specific surface area of MOFs is conducive to the formation of strong interfacial interaction between nano-filler and polymer matrix. Therefore, MOFs are potential flame retardants for improving the fire safety of polymer materials, and have become an attractive alternative to traditional nanoparticles in the field of flame retardation.

[0004] The environmentally friendly new phosphorus-containing flame retardant derivative (DOPO-PEEA) has attracted extensive attention from researchers and the industry due to its high-efficiency and multi-functional flame-retardant characteristics, i.e. low smoke and low toxicity, excellent flame-retardant effect. Therefore, a compound flame retardant (ZDP) can be formed by selecting a methyl imidazole cobalt salt skeleton structure material (ZIF-67, Z) and a phosphorus-based flame retardant (DOPO-PEEA, DP), and a flame-retardant ZDP-PET composite can be prepared by using a melt blending method to improve the flame-retardant effect of polyester.
