The invention relates to a P-N synergistic
chitosan bio-based
flame retardant and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
chitosan is heated and dissolved in an
acetic acid solution,
nitrogen is introduced, an initiator is added, then a DOPO derivative with double bonds at the
tail end, MDO and AA are added for a
polymerization reaction, and the
flame retardant is prepared. An environment-friendly biological material
chitosan is used as a base material, a DOPO derivative with a P-N
flame retardant property and a terminal
double bond is firstly prepared, then the DOPO derivative, degradable MDO formed through
ring opening polymerization and
acrylic acid are jointly subjected to graft
polymerization on the surface of the chitosan, and a formed macromolecular
polymer chain has high flame retardance and can be degraded into a low-molecular structure; the chitosan-based
macromolecule containing PCL and PAA chain segments has a biological
environmental protection property, and when the chitosan-based
macromolecule containing PCL and PAA chain segments is added into degradable plastics such as PLA, the chitosan-based
macromolecule can also achieve good compatibility with plastic particles, so that the degradable plastics can be endowed with certain flame retardant property, and meanwhile, the chitosan-based macromolecule has good compatibility with the plastic particles, so that the degradation rate can be kept unaffected.
