Abstract

The halloysite based coating was fabricated on the surface of flexible polyurethane foam (PUF) using layer-by-layer self-assembled method, which then was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometers, thermogravimetric analysis and cone test. The effect of the prepared coating on the performance of the coated PUF, such as thermal stability, flame retardancy and smoke suppression were investigated. The results show that the coating is composed of halloysite, sodium alginate and polyethyleneimine. The halloysite particles were uniformly dispersed in the coating on PUF. Due to the presence of halloysite based coating, the decomposition of the coated PUF could be retarded to certain extent at high temperature, hence the char residues were significantly increased while decomposed. In comparison to the bare PUF, the peak heat release rate, peak smoke production rate and total smoke production were reduced 57.3%, 58.9% and 80.7% respectively for the PUF with halloysite based coating. This indicated that the coating (namely PU-3) could enhance the thermal stability and fire safety.
