Abstract
Based on the thermal degradation behaviour and the char residue of these composites, the flame retardancy mechanisms of the three systems were discussed. For AlPi/PPO composites, the flame retardancy mechanism was condensed phase charring mechanism because of the formation of continuous char layer during combustion. For AlPi/TPU composites, AlPi acted mainly in gas phase, and a synergistic reaction of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds occurred and diethylphosphic acid providing flame inhibition was released during the burning process. As a result, the addition of AlPi successfully reduced the melt-dripping and enhanced flame retardancy of TPU matrix. For AlPi/PP composites, AlPi acted as a flame inhibitor in gas phase, decreasing the effective heat of combustion of the volatiles (THE/TML) and increasing the amount of CO.
