Fabrication, Synthesis, and Characterization of Flame Retardant and Thermally Stable Materials: Flame Retardant Coating for Polyurethane Foam and Fused-ring Benzo-/naphthoxazines

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Macromolecular Science and Engineering.
Reduction of fire hazard is essential to our sociality for saving human life and property. To achieve real-world attractive flame retardant materials, two approaches are seemingly feasible: imparting flame retardancy through simple and environmentally friendly method and developing intrinsically thermally stable materials. In this thesis, a flame retardant coating utilizing casein and laponite was investigated for polyurethane foam fire suppression. Quantitative techniques were utilized to study its efficiency and microscopic characterizations were conducted to propose flame retardant mechanism. Additionally, a series of novel thermosetting materials- namingly fused-ring benzo-/naphthoxazines was synthesized and studies for their polymer form. Among these monomers, one particular case- 15DHN-p-f showed attractive thermal stability as well as lower polymerization temperature.
