摘要: 采用沉淀沉积法制备了石墨烯桥联的ZnO/Ag3PO4复合光催化材料，具有优异的可见光催化性能，通过XRD、XPS、SEM、EDS、BET、FTIR、UV-Vis DRS、PL及ESR等表征手段对其晶体结构、形貌、光学性质等进行了表征及分析，并研究了不同氧化石墨烯比例的GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4复合材料对模拟抗生素废水环丙沙星(CIP)的光催化降解性能。由于GO及ZnO的引入，不仅增强了GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4对可见光吸收，且拥有了更高的电子-空穴对的分离效率。当GO与Ag3PO4的质量比为1%时，GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4显示出最佳的光催化活性，60 min可见光照后对CIP降解率可达85.3%。捕获实验表明，超氧自由基(·O2−)是反应过程中的主要活性物质，ZnO与Ag3PO4之间形成了异质结，符合Z型电子转移机制，GO的引入进一步提高了电子的快速转移，并使Z型体系更加稳定。经过6次光催化循环，降解率依然保持在70%以上，表明GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4复合材料具有优异的稳定性。Abstract: Graphene-bridged ZnO/Ag3PO4 composite photocatalytic material, with excellent visible light catalytic performance, was prepared with the method of precipitation and deposition. Some characterization methods, includingXRD, XPS, SEM, EDS, BET, FTIR, UV-Vis DRS, PLand ESR were adopted to characterize and analyze the crystal structure, morphology, and optical properties of ZnO/Ag3PO4 composite photocatalytic material. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic degradation performance of GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4 with different ratios of graphene oxideto simulation antibiotics wastewater ciprofloxacin (CIP) was explored. The introduction of GO and ZnO enhances the visible light absorption of GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4, and makes GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4 have better separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs. When the mass fraction of GO is 1wt%, GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4 displays the best photocatalytic activity, and the degradation rate of CIP can reach 85.3% after 60 minutes of visible light. The capture experimentprove that, in the reaction process, superoxide radical (·O2–) is the main active substance, and a heterojunction is formed between ZnO and Ag3PO4, which conforms to the Z-scheme electron transfer mechanism. The introduction of GO furtherly improves the rapid transfer of electrons and makes the Z-scheme system more stable. After six photocatalytic cycles, the degradation rate remained above 70%, indicating that the GO-ZnO/Ag3PO4 composite material has excellent stability.

聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)是全球用量最大的高分子材料之一，其纤维制品俗称涤纶，是全球第一大化纤品种[1]。但PET属于易燃材料，且其燃烧时还伴有严重的熔滴现象，极易导致火灾蔓延和二次伤害，这为PET的应用带来了极大的安全隐患，也使其在军事、工业等诸多领域的应用受到限制[2]。目前PET阻燃改性的主流方法是引入含磷阻燃剂，但含磷聚酯的阻燃性主要是通过熔体滴落带走燃烧区域的热量和火焰来实现的[3-4]，未能解决PET的熔滴问题。因此，同时赋予PET阻燃和抗熔滴特性是目前PET阻燃改性面临的一大难点。
相关研究表明，提高聚合物高温下的熔体黏度和炭化能力是实现阻燃和抗滴落的关键[5-6]。但由于PET分子链的线性结构，其在高温下具有较低的熔融黏度，这一特性在赋予其可纺性的同时，也导致其在燃烧过程中表现出严重的熔滴行为，并难以形成连续的炭层[7]。在PET中引入可交联结构单元是提高熔体黏度的一个有效途径[6, 8]。例如，Wu等[9]合成了一种芳香族席夫碱5-(亚苄基-氨基)-间苯二甲酸二甲酯，并将其用作PET的共聚单体；研究结果显示，芳族席夫碱可以在PET的熔融温度和分解温度之间形成稳定的交联网络，并在燃烧中进一步转变为致密的炭层，因而使得PET共聚酯显示出优异的自熄和抗滴落行为。但尽管上述共聚酯表现出较为理想的阻燃性和抗滴落性能，问题仍然存在。除了工艺复杂、成本高、工业化困难之外，共聚法往往会破坏分子链的规整性，从而损害PET的力学性能和可纺性。
近年来，碳基阻燃剂作为一种新型阻燃剂表现出巨大的发展潜力。研究表明，碳纳米管[10]、富勒烯[11]、纳米炭黑[12]、石墨烯[13]、碳微球[14]等碳基阻燃剂在改善聚合物的成炭质量、降低热释放速率、提高热稳定性等方面表现突出。与传统阻燃剂相比，往往少量碳基阻燃剂的引入即可显著提高聚合物的阻燃性，除此之外，引入碳基阻燃剂还能不同程度地改善聚合物的力学、热学以及电学等性能[15]。其中，碳纳米球(Carbon nanospheres，CNSs)具有无卤环保、粒径小、热稳定性高等优势，能满足PET高温加工和熔融纺丝的理论要求，但迄今为止，将碳基阻燃剂应用于PET的研究较少。
基于此，本文以CNSs为基体，在其表面接枝芳香席夫碱4-苯亚甲基氨基苯酚(4-phenyl-methyleneamino-phenol，BA)制备了一种新型碳纳米球基复合阻燃剂(CNSs-BA)，旨在将CNSs和BA的优势有机结合，使阻燃剂同时具备“智能自交联”特性，从而在燃烧时在PET基体中形成三维交联网络，进而改善熔滴。重点研究了CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的阻燃性及其阻燃机制。
1. 实验材料及方法

1.2 CNSs-BA阻燃剂的制备
首先采用酸化法[16]制备羧基化碳纳米球(CNSs-COOH)；在DCM中加入适量氯化钙，常温振荡12 h以去除其中的水分，使用时用吸管吸取上层液体用。在三口烧瓶中加入一定量的无水DCM (50~100 mL)作为反应溶剂。搅拌状态下加入3 g CNSs-COOH，再加入1 g BA和DMAP (作为碱性催化剂，DMAP的用量为BA用量的1/10)，升温至30℃，之后在搅拌状态下反应2 h，反应完成后抽滤除去液体。将反应所得固体依次用乙醇和蒸馏水洗涤，100℃下干燥6 h后研磨均匀，即得CNSs-BA阻燃剂，CNSs-BA的制备示意图见图1。

首先将纯PET切片和制备的CNSs-BA阻燃剂分别在120℃下真空干燥12 h后冷却至室温备用，然后分别按CNSs-BA占PET的质量分数为0.5wt%、1.0wt%、2.0wt%、3.0wt% 的比例将CNSs-BA与PET切片混合均匀后喂入BP-8188型转矩流变仪(东莞市宝品精密仪器有限公司)中，转矩流变仪各区的温度依次为150、255、273、275℃，转速为35~60 r/min，熔体依次经过熔融共混、挤出、切粒工序得到CNSs-BA/PET复合材料。

2. 结果与讨论
2.1 CNSs-BA的形貌结构和热稳定性
图2为原CNSs (图2(a))和CNSs-BA (图2(b))的SEM、TEM和EDS能谱图。可知：CNSs和CNSs-BA二者均呈规则的球形颗粒状。不同的是，原始CNSs表面光滑，平均粒径约45 nm。而经BA接枝后，CNSs-BA的表面变得粗糙，平均粒径增大到50 nm左右，由EDS谱图可知：纯CNSs中的主要成分为C元素，与CNSs相比，CNSs-BA的表面增加了N元素，源自其表面接枝的BA中的氨基。

图 2 CNSs (a)和CNSs-BA (b)的SEM图像和EDS能谱图Figure 2. SEM and EDS images of CNSs (a) and CNSs-BA (b)图3是CNSs和CNSs-BA的红外图谱。对比CNSs和CNSs-BA的FTIR曲线可知，在CNSs-BA的红外曲线中，
3330 cm−1和3380 cm−1处对应N—H的伸缩振动峰，2925 cm−1和2850 cm−1处为亚甲基的伸缩振动峰，1450 cm−1处的特征峰是芳环骨架的伸缩振动峰，1269 cm−1处的特征峰是酯基C(O)—O的伸缩振动峰，1045 cm−1处的特征峰是芳环上1, 4位取代的振动峰，以上特征峰源自CMSs表面接枝的BA。图4为CNSs和CNSs-BA的TG曲线。可知：纯CNSs的初始分解温度(Tonset，定义为热失重5wt%时的温度)大于800℃，经BA接枝后Tonset降低到483.1℃，该温度远高于PET的加工温度和热分解温度。纯CNSs和CNSs-BA的最高热分解速率的温度(Tmax)分别为158.4℃和177.4℃，说明CNSs经BA接枝后热分解速率减慢。CNSs在30~800℃之间表现出3个较为明显的失重阶段，338.7℃之前对应CNSs中的少量结晶水和无定形碳的分解，338.7~544.1℃之间对应CNSs主体的热分解，544.1℃之后对应热分解产物的再分解。而CNSs-BA可划分为4个失重阶段：前两个阶段分别对应结晶水、无定形碳、小分子产物的分解以及CNSs-BA主体的分解，值得注意的是，544.1℃之后，CNSs-BA出现一个较为明显的失重峰，而CNSs的DTG曲线上并无该峰，该失重峰的出现证明CNSs表面接枝的BA在第二阶段(PET的熔融温度和分解温度之间)形成了一个较为稳定的交联网络结构，这将十分有助于燃烧时保护炭层的形成。

表1是CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的LOI和UL-94垂直燃烧测试结果。可知，与CNSs/PET相比，CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的LOI进一步提高，二者LOI规律变化一致，即随着阻燃剂含量的增大，LOI先提高后降低，当CNSs-BA含量为2.0wt%时，CNSs-BA/PET的LOI指数达到最大值28.1%，此时与纯PET相比，CNSs-BA/PET的LOI提高了33.8%。UL-94垂直燃烧测试结果表明，CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的抗熔滴性能较CNSs/PET也有明显提高，两次施加火焰后的余焰时间明显缩短，当CNSs-BA的添加量超过2.0wt%时，CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的阻燃等级可达到V-0级。

2.3.1 阻燃复合材料的热重分析
为了研究阻燃剂的引入对PET的热降解行为的影响，对PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET在氮气气氛下的TG-DTG曲线作了对比分析，并计算了CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET在500℃时残炭量的理论值，如图6和表3所示。由图6可知：在氮气气氛下，PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET三者的TG曲线和DTG曲线基本重合，说明加入少量(2.0wt%)的CNSs和CNSs-BA均不会对PET的无氧降解行为造成明显影响。由表4可知，PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET三者的Tonset和Tmax均较为接近，但三者在高温(500℃)下的残余质量有所不同。经计算发现CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET二者在高温下残炭量的实际值(CR500℃,exp)均大于理论值(CR500℃,cal)，这说明阻燃剂CNSs和CNSs-BA对PET均有促进成炭作用。其中，CNSs-BA/PET在500℃下残炭量的实际值与理论值的差值(∆CR500℃)大于CNSs/PET，这说明CNSs经BA接枝后对PET的促进成炭作用加强。聚合物在高温下形成的残炭越多，燃烧时发生热分解的部分就越少[21]，这便是阻燃复合材料热释放速率降低的主要原因之一。

对纯PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET锥形量热仪测试后的残炭做了SEM和TG分析以进一步研究阻燃机制。
炭层的形貌结构和稳定性对于提高聚合物的阻燃性能至关重要，有效的炭层可通过阻止聚合物内部与可燃气体、氧气的接触来实现阻燃目的。图7为纯PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET炭层的SEM图像。可见，纯PET燃烧生成的炭层稀薄空且松散，表面存在大量气体逸出形成的气孔，显然这种形貌的炭层无法形成有效的屏障作用。与纯PET相比，CNSs/PET的炭层的致密性明显提高，气孔明显变小，意味着炭层有效性的提高。值得注意的是，与CNSs/PET相比，CNSs-BA/PET炭层的致密性和连续性得到了进一步改善，表面气孔也明显变少和变小，另外还存在大量鼓起的未破裂气泡，这种形貌的炭层在燃烧时一方面能有效地阻隔热量的传递，另一方面还能有效地阻隔PET燃烧降解生成的气态可燃物的逸出，起到隔热和隔氧的作用[22-23]。除此之外，CNSs-BA受热分解生成的CO2、氨气、氮气等难燃性气体能够稀释燃烧区域可燃气体的浓度，抑制燃烧的发展，这便是CNSs-BA/PET阻燃性提高的重要原因。

图 7 PET (a)、CNSs/PET (b)和CNSs-BA/PET (c)残炭的SEM图像Figure 7. SEM images of the char residues of PET (a), CNSs/PET (b)和CNSs-BA/PET (c)图8是PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET炭层的TG曲线。可知，纯PET炭层的Tonset较低，为215.08℃，其中100℃前失重为4.36wt%，这主要是由于纯PET的炭层结构松散、孔洞较多，容易吸收水分和储存小分子气体所致，其800℃时的残余质量为87.2wt%。在整个升温过程中，纯PET的炭层表现出3个失重阶段，第一个失重阶段发生在100℃之前，主要对应炭层中贮存的水分以及气态小分子的降解；第二个失重阶段发生在100~530℃之间，对应炭层主体部分的降解；第三个失重阶段发生在530℃之后，对应炭层热降解产物的再降解。与之相比，CNSs/PET炭层的Tonset提高到615.37℃，800℃时的残余质量提高到89.1wt%，这主要是由于CNSs/PET的炭层的致密性提高所致，其TG曲线基本保持了纯PET炭层的3个失重阶段。与PET和CNSs/PET的炭层相比，CNSs-BA/PET炭层的Tonset提高到800℃以上，意味着炭层在燃烧时能耐受更高的温度，从而更持久有效地起到凝聚相阻燃作用。值得注意的是，其炭层在热分解过程中只有一个较为明显的失重平台，并未像PET和的CNSs/PET的炭层一样经历3个失重阶段，说明阻燃剂CNSs-BA能使PET燃烧生成结构稳定的炭层，该炭层在燃烧过程中能耐受较高的火焰温度，从而对内部的基体起到持久有效的保护作用。
2.3.3 交联行为分析
聚合物的交联直接影响其热性能、流变性、成炭性、熔滴和自熄行为，并有助于聚合物的芳香化或炭化[24]。图9是PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET在热氧降解过程中的TG-DSC曲线，相关数据见表4。由图9可以看出，PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET在空气中均有两个失重阶段，说明PET及其复合材料发生的是两步降解反应[25]。第一个失重阶段是PET的主要失重阶段，发生在360~470℃之间。第二个失重阶段发生在470~590℃之间，该阶段对应第一个降解阶段生成的降解产物的进一步降解。值得注意的是，纯PET的Tonset为397.3℃，而PET的燃点通常在420℃左右，这说明PET在燃烧之前，首先会发生一定程度的降解并生成一些可燃性的气体或挥发性产物，以此来维持燃烧的进行。与纯PET相比，在第一个失重阶段，CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET的热失重曲线稍向低温方向移动，但二者在第一个降解阶段结束时的剩余质量却大于PET，且该阶段的最大失重率所对应温度(Tmax-1)大于PET，说明阻燃剂的存在使PET的主体降解提前，但在该阶段却重组生成了热稳定性较高的物质。DSC曲线表明，CNSs-BA/PET在熔融峰和分解峰之间出现了明显的放热峰，该峰是PET的交联峰[26]，而在PET和CNSs/PET的DSC曲线上交联峰却不明显，这说明CNSs经BA接枝改性后促进了PET的交联，这是由于阻燃剂表面接枝的芳香族席夫碱(BA)可以在PET的熔融温度和分解温度之间形成稳定的交联网络。

裂解-气相色谱-质谱联用(Py-GC-MS)是目前研究聚合物高温裂解产物的常用方法[27]。为了研究阻燃剂的引入对PET的热裂解行为及其高温裂解产物的影响，对PET、CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET做了Py-GC-MS分析，三者的高温裂解产物对比见表5。可知，与纯PET的裂解产物相比，CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET的裂解产物中都包含更多的杂环、稠环、共轭芳环类化合物，这些裂解产物具有较高的热稳定性，是难燃性的保护炭层形成的物质基础[28]。而CNSs-BA/PET的裂解产物中出现了诸如二甲基胺、偶氮苯等含氮产物，这是由于阻燃剂CNSs-BA表面接枝的苯亚甲基氨基苯酚所致。另外，与PET和CNSs/PET相比，CNSs-BA/PET的裂解产物中菲、萘、苊、芴等稠环芳烃类以及联苯类产物明显增多，佐证了CNSs-BA促进了PET降解过程中的交联，该交联一方面通过增大熔体黏度改善了熔滴现象，另一方面提高了炭层的致密性和热稳定性，这就是CNSs-BA/PET阻燃性和抗熔滴性提高的主要原因。

图10为PET阻燃复合材料的抗拉强度和断裂伸长率图。可知，随着阻燃剂含量的增加，CNSs/PET和CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的抗拉强度和断裂伸长率均呈下降趋势。尤其是当阻燃剂含量超过2.0wt%时，PET复合材料的抗拉强度和断裂伸长率大幅度下降。这是由于高含量的阻燃剂在PET基体中形成了较大的团聚体，破坏了基体的连续性，阻碍了应力的传递所致，后续研究中应重点关注材料力学性能的改善。

(1)为同时改善聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)的阻燃性和抗熔滴性，在碳纳米球表面接枝4-苯亚甲基氨基苯酚制备了一种新型碳基复合阻燃剂(CNSs-BA)。CNSs-BA为粒径约50 nm的球形颗粒，热稳定性良好。
(2) CNSs-BA的引入可显著提高PET的阻燃性和抗熔滴性。当CNSs-BA添加量为2.0wt%时，CNSs-BA/PET复合材料的极限氧指数(LOI)从PET的21.0%提高至28.1%，阻燃等级达到V-0级，热释放速率峰值降低了46.3%。
(3) CNSs-BA/PET表现出典型的凝聚相阻燃机制。CNSs-BA的引入能促进PET成炭，CNSs-BA/PET的高温残炭量(CR500℃)比PET提高了55.4%，且成炭量的实际值大于理论值。与纯PET的炭层相比，CNSs-BA/PET燃烧生成的炭层的致密性、连续性以及热稳定性都显著提高。这是由于CNSs-BA的引入促进了PET的高温交联，使其高温降解生成了更多的难燃性焦炭物质。
(4)本文为碳基阻燃剂的发展提供了重要理论补充，对开发无卤、阻燃、抗熔滴的PET材料具有一定的指导意义。
