Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flame retardancy, in particular to a chitosan-based expansion flame retardant modified polypropylene composite material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polypropylene is a common polymer material, widely used in clothing, fiber products such as blankets, medical equipment, pipelines, food packaging, etc. Traditional polypropylene has poor flame retardancy, is easy to burn, and releases a large amount of toxic smoke, which hinders the industrial development and market demand of polypropylene. Therefore, flame retardant modification of polypropylene has become a research hotspot.
[0003] Phosphorus-containing flame retardants are flame retardants with good flame retardant effects, such as 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO). The literature "Preparation and Thermal Properties of Flame Retardant Modified Epoxy Acrylic Resin Containing DOPO Phosphate" discloses that DOPO, formaldehyde, and toluene diisocyanate are used as reactants to prepare isocyanate-containing phosphaphenanthrene (C 22 H 17 N2O5P), has excellent flame retardant effect on light-cured epoxy acrylate resin. Chitosan, as a natural polymer compound, has a wide source and can be used as a natural expanding carbon source. It has a useful application in the field of flame retardancy. Therefore, chitosan can be combined with nitrogen and phosphorus flame retardants to form an expanding flame retardant, which can be applied to polypropylene to enhance its flame retardant properties.

[0006] (2) Preparation of chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant: Add the mixed solvent and melamine-grafted chitosan to the reaction bottle and stir to swell, then add isocyanate-based phosphaphenanthrene (C 22 H 17N2O5P) and a catalyst are reacted at 70-100 ℃ for 12-36 h, and after the reaction, they are placed in an ice water bath for cooling, deionized water is added to form a precipitate, and then acetone and ethanol are used for centrifugal washing in sequence to obtain phosphaphenanthrene-melamine grafted chitosan, which is a chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant.
[0007] (3) Preparation of chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant modified polypropylene composite material: polypropylene, chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant, 0.2-0.6% antioxidant 1010, 0.5-1.5% lubricant hard polypropylene wax, and 0.2-1% antistatic agent carbon black are placed in a double-roll mill, and plasticized at 120-135 °C, and then extruded to obtain a masterbatch to obtain a chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant modified polypropylene composite material.
[0008] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of chitosan, glutaraldehyde and melamine is 100:15-30:6-15.
[0009] Preferably, the coupling reaction temperature in step (1) is 30-60°C, and the reaction time is 6-12 h.
[0010] Preferably, the catalyst in step (2) is stannous octoate.
[0011] Preferably, the mixed solvent in step (2) is N,N-dimethylformamide and 1,4-dioxane, and the volume ratio of the two is 100:25-60.
[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the mass ratio of melamine-grafted chitosan, isocyanate-based phosphaphenanthrene and catalyst is 100:18-40:0.06-0.15.
[0013] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of polypropylene to chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant is 100:3-8.
[0014] 3. Beneficial technical effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant modified polypropylene composite material uses glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent to react with the amino groups of chitosan and melamine respectively to produce Schiff base reaction to obtain melamine-grafted chitosan, thereby grafting melamine into chitosan; then, under the catalytic action of stannous octoate, the isocyanate functional group of isocyanate-based phosphaphenanthrene and the amino groups of chitosan-grafted melamine undergo addition reaction to obtain phosphaphenanthrene-melamine-grafted chitosan, thereby further grafting phosphaphenanthrene small molecules into chitosan.
[0015] The invention discloses a chitosan-based intumescent flame retardant modified polypropylene composite material. The chitosan molecules in the phosphaphenanthrene-melamine grafted chitosan have a high carbon content. The chitosan molecules are used as a natural intumescent carbon source, melamine is used as a gas source, and the phosphaphenanthrene small molecules are used as a phosphorus source to form an intumescent flame retardant system. The chitosan has good compatibility with polypropylene, so that the phosphaphenanthrene-melamine grafted chitosan is dispersed in a polyethylene matrix. During the combustion process, the phosphaphenanthrene is pyrolyzed to generate phosphoric acid derivatives, which promote carbonization and capture combustion chain free radicals. Melamine is pyrolyzed to generate nitrogen, ammonia and other gases to form a gas source, which promotes the thermal decomposition of chitosan to form a continuous and dense carbon barrier layer, thereby achieving good smoke suppression and anti-melting dripping effects, and significantly enhancing the flame retardant performance of polypropylene.
