In the present study, a biomass-derived metal-phenolic networks (MPN) were used as charring agent and flame-retardant synergist for Ethylene-vinyl acetate/Ammonium polyphosphate (EVA/APP) composites. Compared with the polyphenol, the thermal stability of MPN was improved remarkably, making it a good match for EVA. Meanwhile, Limit oxygen index test revealed that MPN endowed EVA/APP composites with enhanced flame-retardant performance. The reason on improvement in the flame retardancy of composites was also discussed and the corresponding mechanism was proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
