The invention discloses functional
caprolactam, an intrinsic
flame-retardant
nylon material as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
flame-retardant nylon materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing an alpha-amino-epsilon-
caprolactam intermediate by taking
lysine as an initial
raw material through one-step efficient cyclization, then reacting with a
reagent containing a
flame-retardant group to obtain functional
caprolactam, and finally introducing the flame-retardant group into a
side chain of nylon 6 by utilizing ring-opening copolymerization of the functional caprolactam and caprolactam to prepare the intrinsic flame-retardant
nylon material. The flame-retardant
nylon material can effectively avoid the migration and loss of the flame retardant, improve the
dispersity of the flame retardant and enhance the flame-retardant effect, can keep the main
chain structure of the nylon 6 unchanged, reduces the influence on the inherent performance of the nylon 6, is expected to directly replace the existing nylon 6 material, and is applied to the fields of automobiles, textiles,
electronics and electrics, buildings, packaging and the like. In addition, a renewable
lysine resource is used for partially replacing a
petroleum resource, so that the method has the advantages of
resource conservation, environmental friendliness, simple process, low cost and the like.
