Preparation method of bio-based flame-retardant and anti-photoaging PVA composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of composite materials, relates to a flame-retardant composite material, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a bio-based flame-retardant and anti-photoaging PVA composite material.
Background
Resin-based composite materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have the characteristics of high specific strength, low density, fatigue resistance, shock absorption, chemical corrosion resistance and the like, and are widely applied to various industries and daily life of people. However, the potential hazard of fire caused by the inflammability of the fire threatens the life safety of people at all times. For this reason, a flame retardant is usually added to reduce the flammability of PVA and improve the safety of PVA. However, the addition of a large amount of flame retardant has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the material and the inherent excellent properties of the material. On the other hand, when the PVA is used outdoors, it is exposed to various environmental factors, and particularly, it is easily photooxidized by ultraviolet light, which causes the PVA to lose its gloss, change its color, crack, and embrittle, thereby deteriorating its performance. The ultraviolet absorbent is added to inhibit the photoaging of PVA, prolong the service life, save resources, reduce the cost and reduce the pollution to the environment. Common UV absorbers, e.g. TiO2And ZnS and the like can generate holes with strong oxidizing property and photo-generated electrons with strong reducing property after absorbing ultraviolet rays, and the holes and the electrons can react with oxygen, water and other substances to generate free radicals with high chemical activity and capable of reacting with PVA, so that the performance of the high polymer material is reduced, and finally the high polymer material is decomposed.
The bio-based flame retardant has the advantages of environmental protection, no pollution, high efficiency, wide raw material source and the like, and is a hotspot of the research of the flame retardant at present. Wherein PA and CH are the flame retardants commonly used in bio-based flame retardants, and the surface charges of the PA and CH are different, so that the PA and CH have the possibility of combination. Therefore, the PA and the CH react at a specific pH value to synthesize an environment-friendly bio-based polyelectrolyte compound, and the compound is compounded with the PVA to prepare the flame-retardant composite material which not only has excellent flame-retardant property, but also can improve the mechanical property. On the basis, the fluorescent powder with the ultraviolet absorption function is added into the system, so that the light aging of PVA can be inhibited, the service life of the PVA can be prolonged, and the possibility is provided for preparing the multifunctional flame-retardant composite material.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a preparation method of a bio-based flame-retardant and anti-photoaging PVA composite material specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1: dispersing 2-5 g of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in 100-250 mL of deionized water, heating to 80-95 ℃, stirring for 1-3 h, and naturally cooling to room temperature to obtain a PVA dispersion liquid;
the polymerization degree of polyvinyl alcohol was 1750.
Step 2: adding 0.5-2 mL of glacial acetic acid and 0.1-1 g of chitosan powder into 100-250 mL of PVA dispersion liquid, and stirring for 2-4 h at room temperature until the chitosan powder is completely dissolved to obtain a mixed solution; adding 0.25-8 g of phytic acid into the mixed solution, stirring for 1-2 h at room temperature, and performing ultrasonic treatment for 1-4 h to obtain a bio-based flame-retardant PVA solution;
the bio-based flame retardant is a polyelectrolyte complex flame retardant obtained by reacting Phytic Acid (PA) and Chitosan (CH) at a pH value of 1-5, but in order to enable the reaction to be more sufficient and effective and enable particles generated by the reaction to be smaller, the pH value is set to be about 2 in the preparation method.
And step 3: adding fluorescent powder into the bio-based flame-retardant PVA solution obtained in the step 2, wherein the mass of the added fluorescent powder is 3-5% of the total mass of the bio-based flame-retardant PVA solution and the added fluorescent powder, stirring for 4-6 h at room temperature, and performing ultrasonic treatment for 1-2 h to obtain a mixed solution;
the fluorescent powder is excited in the wave band of 200 nm-400 nm.
Preferred phosphors are prepared by:
A. according to chemical expression Sr1.7Ba0.3Si4.7Al0.3N7.7O0.3:0.05Eu2+The stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compositions is Sr3N2、Ba3N2、Si3N4、AlN、Al2O3And EuF3Then, the cosolvent (Li) is weighed with the mass fraction of 1wt percent respectively3N) and an impurity-removing agent (C)Carbon powder), grinding the raw materials into powder, and uniformly mixing to obtain raw material powder;

And 4, step 4: and transferring the mixed solution into a mold, drying for 6 hours in a drying oven at 60 ℃, and demolding to obtain the bio-based flame-retardant and anti-photoaging PVA composite material.
The composite material prepared by the preparation method is formed by combining a resin matrix, a flame-retardant additive and fluorescent powder. The flame retardant additive is chitosan and phytic acid. The resin is polyvinyl alcohol resin. The mass of the flame retardant additive accounts for 5-20% of the total mass of the composite material. The fluorescent powder accounts for 3-5% of the total mass of the composite material.
The bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant can obviously improve the mechanical property of the PVA composite material. The reasons can be summarized as the following three points: first, since the composite material contains CH, the CH has a large molecular weight and the carbon skeleton is more stable and rigid than PVA. Secondly, the interaction between pure PVA molecules is mainly through hydrogen bonds, which belongs to a weak interaction force, and the bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant and PVA can form phosphonate ester bonds (strong interaction force) under the action of ultrasound to replace partial hydrogen bonds, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical property. Finally, the polyelectrolyte compound formed by the reaction of phytic acid and chitosan is dispersed into the PVA molecular chain, so that the movement of the PVA molecular chain is hindered, and the PVA molecular chain can move to generate fracture by a larger force in the stretching process. Therefore, the multifunctional flame-retardant PVA composite material prepared by the invention has excellent mechanical properties.
The phosphorus-containing compound generated in the decomposition process of the bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant can catalyze the dehydration of the matrix into charcoal, and is beneficial to blocking heat transfer and volatilization of inflammable matters. In the gas phase, phosphorus-containing compounds generate phosphorus-containing groups (PO., HPO.) during the combustion reaction, and the phosphorus-containing groups can effectively capture free radicals generated during the combustion reaction, thereby cutting off the combustion reaction. In addition, the nitrogen-containing compound also releases a flame-retardant gas (such as ammonia gas, nitrogen gas, water vapor and the like) during combustion, thereby diluting the combustible gas and oxygen and carrying away heat. Therefore, the bio-based flame-retardant PVA composite material prepared by the preparation method has excellent flame-retardant performance.
TiO2And ZnS and the like can generate holes with strong oxidizing property and photo-generated electrons with strong reducing property after absorbing ultraviolet rays, and the holes and the electrons can react with oxygen, water and other substances to generate free radicals with high chemical activity and capable of reacting with PVA, so that the performance of the high polymer material is reduced, and finally the high polymer material is decomposed. The holes and electrons generated after the fluorescent powder added in the preparation method absorbs ultraviolet rays are recombined and consumed within the time of nanosecond to microsecond level, and do not participate in the reaction with oxygen and water.
The preparation method of the invention has the following advantages:
1) the prepared composite material is added with the bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant, and has the advantages of small addition amount, wide raw material source and low cost.
2) The bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant belongs to a bio-based flame retardant, has the characteristics of no halogen, environmental protection, no toxicity, no corrosiveness and the like, does not generate toxic waste during preparation and use, and is an environment-friendly flame retardant.
3) Besides excellent flame retardant property, the prepared PVA composite material is added with the fluorescent powder, so that the ultraviolet absorption effect of the fluorescent powder is benefited, the influence of ultraviolet on PVA is reduced, the service life of the PVA composite material is prolonged, and the light aging resistance of the PVA composite material is improved.
4) The matrix of the prepared composite material is PVA, so the composite material has wide application range and can be used in the field of coatings such as building coatings.
5) The prepared composite material has excellent flame retardant property, mechanical property, ultraviolet absorption property and the like.

The results of the limited oxygen index test and the vertical combustion test on the bio-based flame-retardant and photoaging-resistant PVA composite materials prepared in examples 1-3 and the polyvinyl alcohol samples prepared in the comparative example are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 results of testing the vertical burning, limiting oxygen index of the composite materials prepared in examples 1-3 and the polyvinyl alcohol samples prepared in comparative examples
As can be seen from Table 1, the limiting oxygen index of the PVA composite materials prepared in examples 1-3 is obviously improved along with the increase of the addition amount of the flame retardant, and the flame retardant property of the PVA composite material prepared by the preparation method is obviously improved compared with that of pure polyvinyl alcohol. In example 2, after the addition amount of the flame retardant reaches 10%, the limit oxygen index can reach 30%, and the oxygen index of the composite material can reach a higher value only by adding 10%. When the addition amount reaches 20%, the vertical burning grade reaches V-0 grade. The bio-based flame retardant prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention is proved to have excellent flame retardant efficiency.
The UL-94 test result of the PVA composite prepared in example 3 is shown in FIG. 1, in which a is a picture of the appearance before the test and b is a picture of the appearance after the test. The LOI test result of the PVA composite prepared in example 3 is shown in fig. 2, in which a of fig. 2 is an appearance picture before the test, and b of fig. 2 is an appearance picture after the test. As can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, the sample substantially retained its original shape after combustion and self-extinguished without dripping. The flame retardant is mainly due to the flame retardant effect of the flame retardant in gas phase and condensed phase, and phosphorus-containing compounds generated in the decomposition process of the bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant can catalyze the dehydration of a substrate into charcoal, thereby being beneficial to hindering heat transfer and volatilizing inflammable matters. In the gas phase, phosphorus-containing compounds generate phosphorus radicals (PO.., HPO.) during the combustion reaction, and these radicals can capture the radicals circulating in the gas phase during combustion, and in addition, release the difficult-to-combust gases to dilute the combustible gases, oxygen and heat. Thereby leading the composite material to obtain excellent flame retardant property.
Fig. 3 is an XRD pattern of the phosphor used in the examples, and it can be seen that sample XRD is consistent with PDF card, demonstrating that it is free of impurities. FIG. 4 is a DRS diagram of the PVA composite material prepared in example 3 and the PVA sample prepared in the comparative example, and it can be observed that, compared with a pure PVA sample, the composite film transmits less light in a wavelength band of 200-400 nm, which illustrates that the composite flame retardant material added with the fluorescent powder absorbs most of ultraviolet rays in the wavelength band, reduces the influence of the ultraviolet rays on the service life of the PVA, and thus achieves the anti-photoaging performance. FIG. 5 is an excitation spectrum of the phosphor used in the example, and it can be seen that the phosphor shows broadband excitation of 250-550 nm under 606nm monitoring, which illustrates that the phosphor can effectively absorb near-ultraviolet wavelength of 250-550 nm, and is consistent with the ultraviolet absorption result of FIG. 4.
The mechanical property test results of the PVA composite materials prepared in the embodiments 1-3 and the polyvinyl alcohol samples prepared in the comparative examples are shown in FIG. 6, and it can be seen that the tensile strength of the prepared PVA composite materials is obviously improved, because the PVA composite materials contain CH, the CH has large molecular weight, and the carbon skeleton is more stable and rigid compared with pure PVA. Secondly, the interaction between pure PVA molecules is mainly through hydrogen bonds, which belongs to a weak interaction force, and the bio-based polyelectrolyte composite flame retardant and PVA can form phosphonate ester bonds (strong interaction force) under the action of ultrasound to replace partial hydrogen bonds, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical property. Finally, polyelectrolyte complexes formed by the reaction of phytic acid and chitosan are dispersed in the molecular chain of PVA, thus hindering the movement of the molecular chain of PVA. Therefore, the prepared multifunctional flame-retardant PVA composite material has excellent mechanical properties.
