High-temperature stabilization of polypropylene using hindered phenol–thioester stabilizer combinations,Part 1: Optimization and efficacy via nondust blends

The thermal degradation of unstabilized polypropylene has been investigated under long-term processing (twin extruder) and thermal aging at 150°C, with additive concentration studies on combinations of an established hindered phenolic antioxidant (pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate) [S1010] and two popular thioesters (distearyl-3,3′-thiodipropionate [DSTDP] and didodecyl-3,3′-thiodipropionate [DLTDP]) using melt flow rate, carbonyl index and powder diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (oxidation induction time [OIT]) and ultimate embrittlement time (Fracture) on injection-molded test pieces. It was found that 20:80 phenol:thioester ratios provided the best long-term thermal stability (LTTS); however, this was the reverse for processing stabilization (80:20), underlining the antioxidant nature of the two stabilizers (long term vs. melt). Melt preblending of the stabilizers (to form a no-dust blend) gave rise to improved LTTS. DRIFTS FTIR indicated that there was an improvement in preblending the additives, which removed any volatile impurities. Increased additive dispersion and localized potential efficacy in the stabilization cycle is important, as well as possible improved addition of the additives to the extruder rather than fine powder. The data are discussed in relation to the long-term stabilization of polypropylene in high-temperature applications such as under the bonnet of automobiles where minimizing stabilizer losses and maximizing synergy are important.

Effect of Processing Conditions on Flexural Strength Properties of Chicken Feather Fibre (CFF) and Its Hybrid Composites with Polypropylene Resin

ABSTRACT

This study discusses the effect of molding temperature, pressure and time on the final compression-molded hybrid composites with polypropylene resin for its flexural strength. The results of tests conducted to characterize the hybrid composites developed with different proportion of fibers and processing conditions are discussed in this study. When comparing the overall results on the flexural strength of the composites, 25:75 Chicken Feather Fiber (CFF)/Jute composite showed highest flexural strength by keeping minimum temperature, maximum pressure and medium time. The influence of pressure on flexural strength is significant compared to temperature and time. As time increases the flexural strength decreases.     

PP/PCL/石墨/碳纳米管复合材料的制备及电性能分析

采用熔融共混法制备了石墨（G）、碳纳米管（CNTs）与聚丙烯（PP）、聚己内酯（PCL）导电复合材料，通过改变G的添加量制备了系列导电复合材料。主要测试了熔体流动速率、力学性能、导电性能、电热性能，并进行了电子显微镜观察结构、差示扫描量热法分析、热失重分析。结果表明，PCL与PP混合后，PP的拉伸强度提升了4.375 MPa，在加入G/CNTs之后，力学性能受影响较大下降了约73.5 %；G/CNTs的加入还能有效降低PP的电阻率，使其从绝缘体变为半导体材料电阻率为7.83×10⁶ Ω·m；PP与PCL共混后复合材料的热稳定性得到了显著提高，初始分解温度从368.88 ℃升高至398.95 ℃，在加入G/CNTs管后又进一步提高至408.78 ℃。     

MAPP/EAA处理对聚丙烯/小麦秸秆粉复合材料性能的影响

研究了马来酸酐接枝聚丙烯（MAPP）、乙烯丙烯酸共聚物（EAA）处理对聚丙烯（PP） /小麦秸秆粉（WSP）复合材料性能的影响。结果表明，随着体系中MAPP质量份数的增加，PP/WSP的拉伸强度和弯曲强度均逐渐增大，但冲击强度却先增加后减小，复合材料达到塑化峰的时间逐渐延长；使用EAA后，无论体系中是否已经使用了MAPP，PP/WSP的拉伸、弯曲和冲击强度均可得以提高，特别对于未使用MAPP的体系，效果更加明显，可分别提高65.04 %、45.42 %和6.75 %，储能模量增加，表面疏水性增强，平衡扭矩从13.9 N·m降至11.8 N·m，吸水尺寸变化率及吸水率下降，吸水平衡时间缩短；使用EAA可改善PP/WSP中WSP与PP间的界面结合，改善PP/WSP力学性能、热稳定性能、表面疏水性能、尺寸稳定性能和加工性能，降低其吸水率。

超声协助蒙脱土分散于聚磷酸铵阻燃聚丙烯的研究

阻燃剂能够增强聚丙烯（PP）的阻燃性能,但也会降低其力学性能,因此对阻燃剂进行改性以改善聚丙烯的力学性能显得至关重要。以传统的膨胀型阻燃剂（IFR）[由聚磷酸铵（APP）、季戊四醇（PER）、三聚氰胺（MA）组成]为PP阻燃。在合成APP过程中引入有机蒙脱土（OMt）。APP围绕OMt形成,剥离OMt使其能够较好地分散在阻燃剂中。为使OMt更好地分散在阻燃剂中,在磷酸氢二铵（DAP）、尿素（UREA）溶液中加入OMt,之后对溶液进行超声处理,蒸干后形成DAP-UREA-OMt与五氧化二磷反应生成APP。在PP中添加改性阻燃剂,有助于PP材料阻燃性能的提升与减缓力学性能的下降。当阻燃剂添加量为30%（阻燃剂添加量占总质量的质量分数）时,PP/IFR_APP/OMt复合材料的氧指数达到29.8%,通过V-0测试,拉伸强度为22.0 MPa,高出传统方法0.7 MPa。     

Effect of phytic acid–modified layered double hydroxide on flammability and mechanical properties of intumescent flame retardant polypropylene system

Phytic acid–modified layered double hydroxide (Ph‐LDH) was synthesized via coprecipitation method and subsequently was used in polypropylene (PP) by combining with an ammonium polyphosphate (APP) via melt compounding method. The synergistic effect between APP and Ph‐LDH on the thermal stability, flammability, and mechanical properties of the resultant PP composites was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, limiting oxygen index, vertical burning test (UL‐94), cone calorimeter tests, tensile test, and impact test. Morphologies of the chars obtained from the samples after the cone calorimeter tests were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The combination of APP and Ph‐LDH slightly influenced the impact and tensile properties of PP. Also, the synergistic effect between APP and Ph‐LDH occurred in the cone calorimeter test. Moreover, the combination of APP and Ph‐LDH produced better quality char that effectively suppressed the spread of the flame and volatile and finally extinguished the fire.
