Abstract  

The mesoporous material MCM-41 was modified by DOPO in order to improve its effectiveness as a synergist agent for fire retardant composite. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP)-pentaerythritol (PER)-melamine (MEL) as flame retardants and modified MCM-41 as synergist agent were used to fabricate intumescent flame retardant (IFR)-polypropylene (PP). The synergist effect of modified MCM-41 and IFR on flame retardancy, mechanical property and thermal property of composite PP were investigated. It was found that 1% (mass fraction) modified MCM-41 could obviously improve the flame retardancy of the composite PP with a high LOI value 32.6, which is around 91.76 % higher than that of pure PP. Results of TGA, DMA and SEM showed that MCM-41 could catalyze esterification reaction between IFR, increase the char residue and form much denser char-layer to improve the retardant performance of the materials.
