摘要
The known flame-retardant synergism between phosphorus-based additives and metal oxides, already used for petroleum-based plastics, has been extended to bio-based materials. The pyrolysis and the flame-retardancy properties of aluminium phosphinate (AlPi) in combination with nanometric iron oxide and antimony oxide on a poly(3-hydroxy-butyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PHBV/PBAT) blend were investigated. Better fire retardancy, ascribed to increases in intermediate char, favoured improvements in the UL 94 classification. Both the phosphorus and the nanofiller components participate simultaneously in the flame-retardancy mechanism: the first acting as flame inhibition in the gas phase, and the second promoting cross-linking in the solid phase. Redox reactions between iron oxide and the phosphinate additive were confirmed by XRD analysis and provided further evidence of the activity of metal compounds.
