Definition of the thermal and fire-protective properties of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer nanocomposites
Journal Title: Восточно-Европейский журнал передовых технологий - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
<p>To create a fire retardant coating that can be applied in the hydrocarbon fire, the nanocomposites of the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer with montmorillonite (MMT), thermally expanded graphite (EG) are synthesized and their structure, physicochemical and thermal properties are studied. Using IR spectroscopy and X-ray phase analysis, it is found that the EVA nanocomposites with montmorillonite and nanographite obtained in solution and melt have the same structure.</p><p>Thermal-oxidative degradation of the EVA copolymer and nanocomposites on its basis in the temperature range of 100–700 °C is investigated. It is proved that nanoclay and nanographite as a part of nanocomposites increase thermal characteristics of the original polymers. The thermal stability of the studied compounds increases in the series: polymer<polymer-EG<polymer-MMT <polymer-MMT-EG. It is shown that the presence of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix reduces the EVA thermal decomposition rate at a temperature above 450 °C and increases the coke residue mass after the destruction of the initial EVA copolymer at a temperature of 250 °C. The synergistic effect of the MMT/EG mixture on the processes of slowing down the thermal degradation of the EVA copolymer is found.</p><p>The effect of organomodified montmorillonite and graphite in the EVA nanocomposites on the thermal destruction of the intumescent system of ammonium polyphosphate/melamine/pentaerythritol is studied. The synergistic effect of the mixture of clay and graphite nanoparticles in a hybrid nanocomposite is revealed. Synergism consists in increased fire resistance of metal structures by almost 20 % compared with the coating containing the polymer-nanoclay or polymer-nanographite nanocomposite.</p>Based on the results obtained, the intumescent base of fire retardant paint for steel structures, which is recommended for use to increase the fire-resistance rating of metal in the hydrocarbon fire is developed
