摘要

Polymer-clay nanocomposites are a newer class of flame retardant materials of interest due to their balance of mechanical, thermal and flammability properties. Much more work has been done with natural clays than with synthetic clays for nanocomposite flammability applications. There are advantages and disadvantages to both natural and synthetic clay use in a nanocomposite, and some of these, both fundamental and practical, will be discussed in this paper. To compare natural and synthetic clays in regards to polymer flammability, two clays were used. The natural clay was a US mined and refined montmorillonite, while the synthetic clay was a fluorinated synthetic mica. These two clays were used as inorganic clays for control experiments in polystyrene, and then converted into an organoclay by ion exchange with an alkyl ammonium salt. The organoclays were used to synthesize polystyrene nanocomposites by melt compounding. Each of the formulations was analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Flammability performance was measured by cone calorimeter. The data from the experiments show that the synthetic clay does slightly better at reducing the heat release rate (HRR) than the natural clay. However, all the samples, including the inorganic clay polystyrene microcomposites, showed a decreased time to ignition, with the actual nanocomposites showing the most marked decrease. The reason for this is postulated to be related to the thermal instability of the organoclay (via the quaternary alkyl ammonium). An additional experiment using a more thermally stable organoclay showed a time to ignition identical to that of the base polymer. Finally, it was shown that while polymer-clay nanocomposites (either synthetic or natural clay -based) greatly reduce the HRR of a material, making it more fire safe, they do not provide ignition resistance by themselves, at least, at practical loadings. Specifically, the cone calorimeter HRR curve data appear to support that these nanocomposites continue to burn once ignited, rather than self-extinguish.
