摘要

The metal–organic framework MIL-88A and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) were employed to enhance the flame retardancy of silicone rubber foams (SiFs). Initially, MIL-88A was successfully synthesized and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, the flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties of SiFs incorporating MIL-88A and Al2O3 were evaluated through limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests, cone calorimetry, SEM analysis, and thermogravimetry-infrared spectroscopy. Eventually, the flame retardant and smoke suppression mechanism of SiFs with MIL-88A and Al2O3 were explored. The results demonstrated that the LOI of SiFs with 3 mass% MIL-88A and 3 mass% Al2O3 was 32.7%. Compared with pure SiFs, the peak heat release rate, total heat release, and total smoke production of SiFs with 3 mass% MIL-88A and 3 mass% Al2O3 decreased by 54.22%, 51.94%, and 62.47%, respectively. Furthermore, MIL-88A and Al2O3 exhibited a synergistic flame-retardant effect in both the condensed and gas phases. The structure of char residues of SiFs with MIL-88A and Al2O3 was continuous and dense, thereby effectively blocking heat and gas transfer at the critical interface of SiFs.
