New methacrylate-derived materials with fire-resistant additives: from synthesis to application
摘要
Given the challenges of developing fire-resistant materials that simultaneously meet environmental, safety, and thermomechanical requirements, this study presents the synthesis and comprehensive analysis of polymer compositions with various flame retardant additives. The polymeric compositions, consisting of oligo(urethane methacrylate) resin, diurethane dimethacrylate, and N-vinylpyrrolidone, were combined with one of several flame retardants: 1,3,5-tri(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H), aluminum phosphate, zinc oxide with sodium metaborate tetrahydrate (1/1 by mass) or aluminum hydroxide. The spectroscopic properties (ATR/FTIR) and thermal behavior of these compositions were analyzed in detail using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) with the analysis of evolved gases. The results showed differences in endothermic effects, indicating that the type of flame retardant significantly affects thermal stability and degradation temperature. The thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that the different flame retardants affected the thermal stability of the compositions, with the highest resistance observed for the composite containing 1,3,5-tri(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H). The results of the tests obtained using the pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter are discussed in detail. The mechanism of resin flame retardant interactions has been proposed.
