Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibers hybrid aerogel was prepared under freeze drying method. To improve the aerogels' anti-combustion performance, 0.8 wt% microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MCAPP) was loaded as the flame retardant. Aerogels with extremely low density (~0.06 g/cm3) and excellent mechanical performance (Young's modulus: 1.045 MPa) can be obtained. The resulted aerogel also exhibit considerable thermal insulation ability (thermal conductivity: ~0.04 W/m·K). Experimental results indicate that the value of limiting oxygen index increases from 19.5% to 37.5% when loading 0.8 wt% MCAPP. Accordingly, the aerogels' peak heat release rate decreased significantly from 222.44 to 107.84 kW/m2. The char... (More)

Experimental results indicate that the value of limiting oxygen index increases from 19.5% to 37.5% when loading 0.8 wt% MCAPP. Accordingly, the aerogels' peak heat release rate decreased significantly from 222.44 to 107.84 kW/m2. The char residue rises when introducing MCAPP and the char's integrity improves a lot after combustion. The fire performance index and fire growth index increases and falls respectively, indicating improved anti-combustion performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show C[dbnd]O bonds would be increased for the esterification of phosphoric acid from MCAPP. In addition, the production of carbonate can be prohibited while combustion when loading MCAPP.
