In this paper, fumaric acid (FA) which was a new type of environmental and low-cost flame retardant was applied for thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The flame-retardant properties of TPU were tested using limiting oxygen index, cone calorimeter test, smoke density test, and thermogravimetric/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It has been proved that FA could improve the difficulty of the ignition of the sample; the limiting oxygen index value of the sample (FA-4) increased by 29.7% when 2.0 wt% FA was added to TPU. The cone calorimeter test showed that FA can greatly reduce heat release and smoke production during the combustion process of TPU composites. For example, compared with the pure TPU, the peak heat release rate and total smoke release of the sample (FA-4) with 2.0 wt% FA were decreased by 50.8% and 51.5% respectively. The results of smoke density test showed that the luminous flux of the samples contained 0.5 wt% FA was increased by 79.2% compared with the pure TPU. The TG results revealed that the sample of FA-4 had higher char residue content compared with the sample of TPU. The results of thermogravimetric/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved that FA could decrease the initial decomposition temperature for TPU composites and increase the release of CO 2 and H 2 O. All results of test illustrated that FA had good flameretardant effect on TPU. KEYWORDS environmental, flame retardant, fumaric acid, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer 1 | INTRODUCTIONThermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is a polymer formed by the copolymerization of diisocyanate and polyol, which is an elastic material between rubber and plastic. 1 Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has good prospects for development in daily life because of its superior performance, such as high wear resistance, high strength, high elasticity, and good hydrolysis stability. 2 However, as a combustible material, during the combustion process, TPU can produce a lot of smoke, heat, and poisonous gas, which easily cause the suffocation and even death of the personnel, and it has a serious droplet phenomenon, which limits its application in some fields. 3 Therefore, it is very important to improve the flame retardancy of TPU. [4][5][6][7] At present, the traditional flame retardants used for TPU include halogen flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants, etc. 8,9 Halogen flame retardants are more popular in flame-retardant TPU because of the high flame-retardant efficiency, moderate price, and variety.However, halogen flame retardants will release corrosive gases such as halogenated hydrogen and a large amount of smoke under high temperature or open fire, which will bring great harm to the human body and the environment. 10 The phosphorus flame retardant has the characteristics of halogen-free and low toxicity, but it needs a high amount of addition, which has an effect on the mechanical properties of the materials. 11,12 As a result, the elongation at break of the composite system, especially the impact strength, will...
