Green and Scalable Fabrication of Core–Shell Biobased Flame Retardants for Reducing Flammability of Polylactic Acid

Xiong, Zhengquan, Zhang, Yan, Du, Xiaoyang, Song, Pingan, Fang, Zhengping·2019·ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Abstract

The design of flame-retardant biocomposites based on biobased flame retardants (FRs) represents a promising direction for creating a sustainable world. To date, it remains a major challenge to explore a green and scalable strategy for the design of highly effective, biobased FRs for bioplastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA). Herein, we have demonstrated a green, facile fabrication approach for a core–shell-structured biobased flame retardant (APP@CS@PA-Na) via layer-by-layer assembly using water as the assembly media. With electrostatic interactions, APP@CS@PA-Na was prepared by sequential assembly of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with positively charged chitosan (CS) and then negatively charged phytic acid salt (PA-Na). The addition of APP@CS@PA-Na can enhance both the flame retardancy and the toughness of PLA. With the addition of 10 wt % APP@CS@PA-Na, the resultant PLA composite can pass an UL-94 V-0 rating and meanwhile shows an increased elongation at break by 28.4%, compared with that of neat PLA (8.1%). Through the analysis of the volatile gases and the residues, the flame retardant mechanism of APP@CS@PA-Na in PLA plays the key role in the condensed-phase. This work will broaden the practical application field of PLA, such as in electric and electronic and fibers fields.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
