Abstract

En 中文
In this research, the flame retardancy of neat alginate fiber, flame retardant viscose fiber (FRV) and alginate/FRV (50/50) blending fibers were investigated by vertical burning and cone calorimeter tests. The vertical burning test showed that the afterflame time of alginate fiber was 0 s, but alginate presented serious smoldering behavior with the afterglow time of 605 s and damaged length of 85 mm, while the afterglow time of FRV was 0 s. When the FRV was incorporated into alginate with the weight ratio of 50/50, the afterglow time and damaged length were significantly reduced to 85 s and 35 mm, indicating the smoldering of alginate can be effectively decreased. The morphology and chemical structure of the alginate residual demonstrated that it was seriously destroyed during smoldering process, which was ascribed to its relative low initial thermal degradation temperature. Based on the thermal properties analysis, alginate and FRV fibers shared the concurrence of rapid degradation in the same temperature region of 250-300 degrees C, through which, the compact and stable char formed by FRV can prevent the heat transmission and suppress the smoldering of alginate. Further, the cone calorimeter results demonstrated that the time to ignition (111) significantly increased and peak heat release rate (PHRR) decreased for alginate/FRV (50/50) compared with FRV. With this research, a new method to overcome the smoldering of alginate was proposed by blending with FRV (C) 2017 Chinese Chemical Society and Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
