Flame retardancy, smoke suppression and enhancement properties of Enteromorpha based flame retardants onEPDM

Abstract

Enteromorpha as a waste from marine pollution brings great pressure to environmental governance every year, especially for China. Under the premise of shortage of industrial materials, taking appropriate measures can turn waste into wealth, which will benefit us a lot. In this work, a bio-based reinforcing type flame retardant based on Enteromorpha is designed. The designed Enteromorpha based flame retardant system mainly is focused on the reinforcing action and the flame retardant effects on ethylene-propylene-diene tripolymer (EPDM) systemically. Therefore, with the emergence of innovate reinforcing type Enteromorpha flame retardants in the future, the application of Enteromorpha in the polymer flame retardants field will surely usher in bright development.

Application of Halogen-Free EPDM Flame Retardants

“…Jiang et al designed a bio-based enhanced flame retardant based on Enteromorpha [7]. The flame retardant system they designed mainly focuses on the enhancement and flame retardant effect of the EPDM.…”

“…Figure 1. Flame retardant mechanism of prepared EPDM/APEG materials [7]. In order to reduce the fire risk of EPDM, Han et al synthesized a piperazine/olefin-containing phosphamide oligomer poly (2-butene-1,4-diketopiperazine-fumalyl phenylphosphonate) (PPFPP) and used it as a carbonizing agent, and combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to prepare a new intumescent flame retardant [8].…”

Effective hybridization ofSiO2microsphere and graphene with tannic acid interface modifier for fabrication of multifunctional natural rubber/graphene nanocomposites

“…carbon atoms in a hexagonal shape arranged in a honeycomb lattice with sp 2 hybridization orbitals, has become a promising candidate for the preparation of conductive elastomer composites owing to its extremely high-electrical conductivity and large specific surface area. 10 GE is more effective than other competing nanofillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, 11 carbon black, 12 metal particles, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] graphite, 24 etc.) for the enhancement of electrical conductivity of composites.…”
