摘要
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) were applied to improve the flame retardancy of nylon6 (PA6). The results showed that PA6/APP/CNTs exhibited excellent flame retardancy with 1% CNTs and 20%APP (in mass fraction). While for a PA6/APP/CNTs blended with the flammable acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) it needed to add only 0.25% CNTs to meet the flame retardancy equal to that of the above mentioned PA6/APP/CNTs with 1% CNTs. TEM observation showed that CNTs were exclusively dispersed in the PA6 phase of PA6/ABS/APP. Rheological tests showed that the selective dispersion of CNTs facilitated the formation of the network structure of CNTs, thus the needed CNTs content could be lowered from 1% to 0.25% to meet the required flame retardancy. The morphology observation of the residue char revealed that the network structure was benefitial to the formation of compact residue char thus enhanced the flame retardancy for the 1% CNTs filled PA6/APP or 0.25% CNTs filled PA6/ABS/APP, respectively. When the CNTs content in PA6/ABS/APP was 1%, the formed network structure was so dense that the swell of the char layer was inhibited, thereby resulting in poor flame retardancy. © All right reserved.
