Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular to a composition for preparing a flame retardant, a method for preparing a flame retardant, a flame retardant, a polycarbonate composition containing the flame retardant, a method for preparing the polycarbonate composition, and applications of the polycarbonate composition. Background Art

[0002] Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with excellent properties such as creep resistance, good dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, low water absorption, and non-toxicity. It has good flame retardancy and can reach UL94 V2 level. It is widely used in electronic appliances, automotive accessories, telecommunications industry components, optical components and lighting fields. With the development of the times, the requirements for the flame retardant properties of plastic materials are getting higher and higher. Therefore, technicians usually add flame retardants to polycarbonate to improve the flame retardant properties of polycarbonate. The flame retardants used mainly follow two flame retardant mechanisms.

[0003] One is the gas phase flame retardant mechanism, which is characterized by delaying or preventing gas chain combustion. The other is the condensed phase flame retardant mechanism, which is characterized by generating a carbon layer by itself or forming a carbon layer through interaction, which can reduce the thermal degradation ability of the polymer.

[0004] The flame retardants used in the prior art often use only gas phase flame retardancy mechanism or condensed phase flame retardancy mechanism to achieve flame retardancy, and their flame retardancy effect is not good. How to obtain a flame retardant with both gas phase flame retardancy and condensed phase flame retardancy is of great significance in improving the flame retardancy of polycarbonate, and is an important research direction of polycarbonate. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem that the flame retardant in the prior art has a single flame retardant mechanism and poor flame retardant effect, and to provide a composition for preparing a flame retardant, a method for preparing a flame retardant, a flame retardant, a polycarbonate composition containing the flame retardant, a method for preparing the polycarbonate composition, and the application of the polycarbonate composition. The flame retardant has both gas phase flame retardant effect and condensed phase flame retardant effect, and has important application value in the polycarbonate composition. The polycarbonate composition not only has excellent flame retardant performance, but also has good toughness.

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a composition for preparing a flame retardant, wherein the composition comprises: 1-1.5 mole parts of a triazine compound, 1.5-3.5 mole parts of a mercaptosulfonate, and 1.5-3.5 mole parts of allylsilane.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a flame retardant, the method comprising the following steps: (1) A solution 1 containing a triazine compound and a solution 2 containing allylsilane are mixed and reacted under alkaline conditions, and then concentrated to obtain an intermediate 1; (2) mixing a solution 3 containing mercaptosulfonate with a solution 4 containing an intermediate 1 and a catalyst 1, allowing them to react, and then drying to obtain an intermediate 2; (3) The solution 5 containing the intermediate 2 is mixed with an oxidant and a catalyst 2 to react, and then concentrated and crystallized to obtain a flame retardant.

[0008] The third aspect of the present invention provides a flame retardant prepared by the method described in the second aspect.

[0009] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a polycarbonate composition, the polycarbonate composition comprising a polycarbonate resin, a flame retardant and a layered silicate; Wherein, the flame retardant is the flame retardant described in the third aspect.

[0010] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a polycarbonate composition, the method comprising the following steps: The polycarbonate resin, the flame retardant and the layered silicate are mixed and pelletized to obtain the polycarbonate composition.

[0011] A sixth aspect of the present invention provides an application of the polycarbonate composition described in the fourth aspect in the field of flame retardant materials.

[0012] The flame retardant provided by the present invention not only contains S and N elements, but also creatively introduces Si element. On the one hand, under the condition of heating, the flame retardant can generate SO 2 and NH 3 Non-flammable gases such as Si can not only dilute the concentration of combustible gases and oxygen, but also absorb heat and reduce the ambient temperature of the material. On the other hand, during the combustion process, the Si element migrates to the surface of the material, which can further improve the density of the carbon layer and better block oxygen exchange and heat transfer, thereby protecting the matrix under the carbon layer, so that the flame retardant has both gas phase flame retardant effect and condensed phase flame retardant effect.

[0013] The present invention also provides a polycarbonate composition containing the flame retardant. Since the flame retardant provided by the present invention decomposes and releases sulfur oxides with a higher valence state under heat, the polycarbonate ester group is more likely to break and undergo Fries rearrangement, thereby making it easier to obtain a carbon layer with a cross-linked structure.

[0014] In addition, the polycarbonate composition provided by the present invention further contains layered silicate. Under the combined action of the flame retardant and the layered silicate, the material distribution in the polycarbonate composition is more uniform, and the toughness of the polycarbonate composition is stronger.
