摘要

Abstract

Despite the good biodegradable and mechanical properties

poly(lactic acid) still suffers from a highly inherent flammability

which restricts its applications in the electric and automobile fields. In order to improve the flame retardancy of PLA

in this work

melamine polyphosphate (MPP) and zinc bisdiethylphosphinate (ZnPi) were firstly incorporated into PLA

and the synergistic effect of them on flame retardance of PLA was investigated using limiting oxygen index (LOI)

UL-94 vertical measurement

scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cone calorimeter tests

etc

. The results showed that PLA composite with 15 wt% of MPP/ZnPi (3:2) had the best flame-retardant efficiency with LOI value of 30.1 and V0 rating in UL-94 tests

which was far better than using MPP or ZnPi alone. What is more

although a wide range of flame retardants have been developed to reduce the flammability

so far

they normally compromise the mechanical properties of PLA. On the premise of maintaining good flame-retardant performance

we improved the toughness of flame-retardant PLA composite

and the impact strength of flame-retardant PLA composite was more than tripled (8.08 kJ/m

) by adding thermoplastic urethanes (TPU). This work offers an innovative method for the design of the unique integration of extraordinary flame retardancy and toughening reinforcement for PLA materials.
