摘要: 通过原位生长的方法制备了ZIF-8@短碳纤维(SCFs)材料,将其与聚磷酸铵(APP)一起加入环氧树脂(EP)制备了阻燃性能和力学性能均有所提高的环氧树脂复合材料。通过氧指数测定仪、水平垂直燃烧测定仪、锥形量热仪及万能电子拉力机对ZIF-8@SCFs-APP/EP复合材料进行了阻燃与力学性能的测试。实验结果表明,与添加5wt%APP阻燃样品相比,当 ZIF-8@SCFs的添加量为1wt% (APP和ZIF-8@SCFs的质量比为4∶1)时,复合材料的极限氧指数从25.7%增加到28.1%,UL-94垂直燃烧试验达到V-1级、热释放率峰值(pHRR)和总烟雾量(TSP)明显降低;复合材料的抗张强度、弯曲强度、弹性模量和断裂伸长率分别提高了86%、81%、20%和75%,解决了无机阻燃填料的添加导致EP力学性能降低的问题,制备的阻燃复合材料具有实际应用价值。Abstract: The nano ZIF-8 on short carbon fibers (ZIF-8@SCFs) were prepared in situ growth. The composites were manufactured using ZIF-8@SCFs, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and epoxy resin (EP) to improve the flame retardant and mechanical properties. Oxygen index tester, horizontal and vertical combustion tester, cone calorimeter and universal electronic tensile machine were used to investigate the flame retardant and mechanical properties of EP composite materials. The experimental results show that when the addition amount of ZIF-8@SCFs is 1wt% (the mass ratio of APP to ZIF-8@SCFs is 4∶1), the limiting oxygen index of the composite material increases from 25.7% to 28.1%, and UL-94 reaches V-1 level. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total smoke production (TSP) are reduced evidently compared with the sample with only 5wt% of APP. Besides, the tensile strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus and elongation at break of the composite material are increased by 86%, 81%, 20% and 75%, respectively, which solves the problem that the addition of inorganic flame-retardant destroys the mechanical properties of EP. The prepared composites could be applied in practice.
