The combustible defects of polyamide 6 (PA6), especially the flammable melt-dripping behavior, have greatly limited its application in some particular fields. In this work, a halogen-free hyperbranched polysiloxane (PBDSi) containing DOPO and Schiff base was designed via Michael's addition reaction and dehydration-condensation reaction. Results showed that the char yield (Yc) of PBDSi attained 37.9 wt%, confirming the satisfactory charring behavior of PBDSi for preparing flame-retardant PA6. Just by adding 3 wt% of PBDSi, the serious melt droplets of PA6 were suppressed effectively. The prepared PA6/PBDSi-3 with 5 wt% of PBDSi could achieve the highest value of limited oxygen index (LOI) of 27.2 %, while that of PA6 is 21.0 %. Meanwhile, PA6/PBDSi-3 obtained an apparent reduction in the peak heat release rate (PHRR) value of 31.1 % compared with pure PA6. The cooperated effect of DOPO, Schiff base, and polysiloxane that contributed to generating a silicon-phosphorous-rich char layer and releasing incombustible volatiles that were determined to be the essential factor for the improved fire safety of PA6/PBDSi were explored intensively. Inspiringly, PA6/PBDSi composites exhibited a slight mechanical loss concerning PA6, overcoming the great challenge of developing additive flame-retardant materials to balance mechanical properties and fire safety. |
