Flame Retardancy and Thermal Degradation of Intumescent Flame Retardant Poly(lactic acid)/Starch Biocomposites
Abstract
Intumescent flame-retardant poly(lactic acid)/starch (PLA/starch) biocomposites were prepared by means of melt blending. Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MCAPP) was added to the PLA/starch biocomposites not only to improve its flame retardancy but also to restrain the reaction between ammonium polyphosphate and starch during processing. The flame-retardant properties of PLA/starch biocomposites were evaluated by limiting oxygen index, UL-94 test, and microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC) test. The results of MCC showed that the peak of heat release rate and total heat release of PLA/starch biocomposites decreased dramatically compared with those of pure PLA. The thermal degradation and gas products of PLA/starch/MCAPP systems were monitored by thermogravimetric analysis and thermogravimetric analysis−infrared spectrometry. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized to explore the surface morphology and chemical components of the char residues.

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.
