Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flame retardant materials and relates to a flame retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] TPU is short for thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, a polymer material formed by the reaction of diisocyanate molecules such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI) with macromolecular polyols and low-molecular-weight polyols (chain extenders). Currently, TPU fiber films are widely used in medical and health, electronics, industry, and sports, possessing properties such as high strength, good toughness, aging resistance, and weather resistance. However, TPU is a flammable material. Upon heating, the physical cross-linking points composed of hydrogen bonds in the hard segments of TPU gradually fail, weakening the interactions between molecular chains, and the TPU changes from a network structure to a linear structure. As the temperature continues to rise, the urethane bonds in TPU decompose, forming short-chain molecules and small molecules such as isocyanates, alcohols, amines, and carbon dioxide. With further increases in temperature, the polyol soft segments in TPU begin to decompose, and the resulting small molecules diffuse into the flame zone above the polymer / air interface, mixing with air to form a flammable mixture. When the concentration and temperature of the mixture exceed the flammability threshold, the combustibles in the gas phase begin to burn. Some of the heat generated during combustion is fed back to the polymer surface, further exacerbating the thermal decomposition of TPU and producing more flammable debris, thus creating a vicious cycle.
[0003] TPU combustion is often accompanied by the formation of smoke, gases, and toxic / corrosive products. When TPU burns, it produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen-containing volatiles (such as nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide). Carbon monoxide is the main product, while nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide can reach high concentrations under specific conditions. Related studies indicate that the hazard of the gases and smoke produced during combustion to TPU depends primarily on the concentration of decomposition products in the initial stage of combustion. If flame retardants can inhibit the initial combustion of TPU and reduce the concentration of toxic and harmful gaseous products in this stage, the fire hazard of TPU can be significantly reduced.
[0004] The aforementioned problems are currently typically addressed by adding flame retardants and smoke suppressants. Halogenated flame retardants are the most widely used due to their lower price and higher efficiency. However, halogenated flame retardants release toxic fumes during combustion, polluting the environment and harming human health. With increasingly stringent environmental standards, the use of some high-efficiency halogenated flame retardants has been prohibited or restricted, and halogen-free flame retardants are gaining increasing attention. Yin Shougen et al. from Tianjin University of Technology used ammonium polyphosphate and MXene to improve the flame retardancy of TPU fiber films, but the flame retardants they used were mostly inorganic materials, and the smoke suppression performance was not improved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material and its preparation method, which solves the problems of existing technologies releasing toxic fumes and having poor smoke suppression performance during combustion.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing a flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material includes:
[0008] Preparation of phytic acid derivatives;
[0009] Phytic acid derivatives, natural antioxidants, inorganic carbon sources and solvents are mixed evenly to obtain a composite flame retardant solution.
[0010] TPU particles are added to the composite flame retardant solution, heated and stirred to form a composite spinning solution;
[0011] Flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material was obtained by electrospinning using a composite spinning solution.
[0012] Furthermore, the preparation process of the phytic acid derivative includes:
[0013] A phytic acid solution with a concentration of 50%–70% was heated to 120°C while stirring at 200 rpm and kept at that temperature for 2–4 hours. The temperature was then increased to 170°C and kept at that temperature for 3–6 hours to obtain the phytic acid derivative.
[0014] Furthermore, the phytic acid derivative includes one or more of the products obtained by heating phytic acid to remove one, two, and three water molecules.
[0015] The natural antioxidants include one or more of the following: flavonoids, tannins, vitamins, quinones, sterols, phenylpropanoids, coumarins, and enoic acids.
[0016] The inorganic carbon source includes one or more of graphite, expanded graphite, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide.
[0017] Furthermore, the composite flame retardant solution comprises 1-4 parts of phytic acid derivative, 1-3 parts of natural antioxidant, 0.2-0.6 parts of inorganic carbon source, and 64.4-76.8 parts of solvent.
[0018] Furthermore, the solvent is water or an organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent is one or both of tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylformamide.
[0019] Furthermore, the composite spinning solution includes 20-30 parts of TPU particles and 70-80 parts of composite flame retardant solution.
[0020] Furthermore, the TPU particles are polyether-type thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers.
[0021] Furthermore, the heating temperature is 60°C, the stirring rate is 200 r / min, and the stirring time is 3–5 h.
[0022] Furthermore, during the electrospinning process, the temperature is 20–50°C, the humidity is 20%–50%, the high voltage is +5–20KV, the low voltage is -1KV, the injection speed is 0.45–4.50mL / h, the rotation speed is 10–1000rpm, the plate distance is 5–20cm, and the electrospinning time is 6–24h.
[0023] A flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material prepared by the aforementioned method is characterized in that the total heat release per unit area of the flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material is 1.50–1.92 MJ / m². 2 The heat release rate per unit area is 35.0–87.5 kW / m². 2 The smoke release rate is 1.27–2.33 m. 2 / s, with peak carbon dioxide emissions ranging from 0.07% to 0.22%.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] This invention provides a method for preparing a flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material, employing phytic acid derivatives, natural antioxidants, and inorganic carbon sources to synergistically improve the flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing properties of TPU. Phytic acid derivatives exhibit better water resistance and flame retardancy than phytic acid itself, and can act in both the condensed and gas phases of polymer combustion, enhancing the flame-retardant performance of the matrix. Natural antioxidants, as a class of natural, renewable, and pollution-free antioxidants, possess excellent free radical scavenging properties and can exert a flame-retardant effect by scavenging oxygen-containing groups. Inorganic carbon sources, due to their inherent plate-like physical barrier effect and high carbon content, impart good char-forming and smoke-suppressing properties to the polymer. This invention introduces phytic acid derivatives, natural antioxidants, and inorganic carbon sources in situ into the TPU fiber membrane material using electrospinning technology, improving the uniformity of flame-retardant material distribution and the amount introduced, achieving a significant improvement in flame-retardant performance. Furthermore, the preparation method is green, simple, and low-cost, reducing the generation and release of harmful gases during combustion.
[0026] This invention also provides a flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing TPU fiber membrane material, which has the advantages of being resistant to bending and having good flexibility, and the total heat release per unit area is 1.50~1.92MJ / m². 2 The heat release rate per unit area is 35.0–87.5 kW / m². 2 The smoke release rate is 1.27–2.33 m.2 The peak carbon dioxide emission is 0.07–0.22% per second. It can improve the flame retardant properties of thermoplastic polyurethane fiber films while reducing the generation and release of harmful gases during combustion. Compared with pure TPU fiber films, the total heat release per unit area is reduced by 10–30%, the heat release rate per unit area is reduced by 50–80%, the smoke release rate is reduced by 30–60%, and the peak carbon dioxide emission is reduced by 40–80%.
