To address the high flammability and toxic smoke emission of flexible PVC (fPVC), a magnesium-molybdenum-phosphorus multi-component flame retardant (MO@MH-PEPE) was constructed by surface-modifying self-synthesized molybdenum oxide-hybridized magnesium hydroxide (MO@MH) with phenolic epoxy phosphate ester (PEPE). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the chemical grafting of PEPE onto MO@MH P-O-Mg bonds, enhancing interfacial compatibility. When incorporated into fPVC, the fPVC/MO@MH-PEPE composite exhibited superior flame retardancy and smoke suppression: limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased to 32.0%, UL-94 reached V-0 rating, peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total smoke production (TSP) decreased by 47.16% and 75.15% compared with the fPVC/MH composite, respectively. The char residue yield (50.00 wt%) and graphitization degree significantly improved, attributed to Mo/Mo redox catalysis and phosphoric acid charring. Thermogravimetry analysis-FTIR (TGA-FTIR) revealed gas-phase flame inhibition HO dilution. Furthermore, PEPE modification optimized mechanical properties, increasing tensile and impact strength by 28.35% and 6.50% over fPVC/MO@MH, supported by SEM-proven interfacial adhesion. This work demonstrates a synergistic Mg-Mo-P system for high-performance fPVC composites.
为了解决软质聚氯乙烯(fPVC)的高易燃性和有毒烟雾排放问题,通过用酚醛环氧磷酸酯(PEPE)对自合成的氧化钼杂化氢氧化镁(MO@MH)进行表面改性,构建了一种镁-钼-磷多组分阻燃剂(MO@MH-PEPE)。傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)证实了PEPE通过P-O-Mg键化学接枝到MO@MH上,增强了界面相容性。当将其加入到fPVC中时,fPVC/MO@MH-PEPE复合材料表现出优异的阻燃性和抑烟性:极限氧指数(LOI)提高到32.0%,UL-94达到V-0等级,与fPVC/MH复合材料相比,峰值热释放速率(pHRR)和总烟雾生成量(TSP)分别降低了47.16%和75.15%。残炭产率(50.00 wt%)和石墨化程度显著提高,这归因于Mo/Mo氧化还原催化和磷酸炭化。热重分析-傅里叶变换红外光谱(TGA-FTIR)揭示了气相阻燃作用——HO稀释。此外,PEPE改性优化了力学性能,与fPVC/MO@MH相比,拉伸强度和冲击强度分别提高了28.35%和6.50%,SEM证明的界面附着力为此提供了支持。这项工作展示了一种用于高性能fPVC复合材料的协同Mg-Mo-P体系。
