열가소성 수지인 폴리프로필렌 (PP)과 무기나노입자인 몬모릴로나이트 (MMT)의 나노복합재료에 할로젠 계열의 난연제 데카브로모다이페닐옥사이드 (DBDPO)와 클로로파라핀 왁스 (CPW)를 철가하였을 때의 난연특성 향상에 대해 실험하였다. 고분자 수지의 난연특성은 난연제의 첨가뿐만 아니라 나노복합화를 통해서도 향상될 수 있는데, 콘 칼로리미터와 한계산소지수 (LOI)의 측정을 통하여 난연제와 무기나노입자의 함량에 따른 폴리프로필렌/몬모릴로나이트 나노복합재료의 난연특성을 정량적으로 측정하였다. 폴리프로필렌에 난연제 DBDPO와 CPW를 첨가하였을 때, 난연특성이 2배 이상 향상되는 것을 관찰하였으며, CPW가 DBDPO보다 약간 우수한 난연특성을 보였다. 한계산소지수 측정결과 폴리프로필렌에 난연제를 첨가하면 폴리프로필렌의 연소특성이 가연성 영역 (LOI<19)에서 난연성 영역 (LOI>20)으로 전이됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 폴리프로필렌에 몬모릴로나이트를 첨가하여 나노복합화를 하였을 때의 난연특성이 3배 이상 향상되었는데, 이로부터 난연제를 단순히 혼합하는 것보다 몬모릴로나이트를 나노복합화한 후 난연제를 첨가하는 것이 난연특성의 향상에 휠씬 유리하였다.

Polymers are inherently vulnerable to flame, which limits their application to various high-tech industries. In addition, environmental regulations restrict the use of halogen-based flame retardants which has best flame-retardant effect. There are inorganic flame retardants and phosphorous flame retardants as representative non-halogen-based flame retardants. However, high content of flame retardants is required to impart high flame retardancy of the polymers, and this leads to a decrease in mechanical properties. In this research, a new approach for inorganic flame retardant-based polymer composites with high mechanical properties and flame retardancy was suggested. Inorganic flame retardants called as magnesium oxysulfate whisker (MOSw) were used in this research. MOSw can extinguish fire by releasing water and non-combustible gases when exposed to flame. In addition, they have reinforcing effect when added into the polymer with its high aspect ratio. Expandable graphite (EG) was used as a flame-retardant supplement by helping to form a more dense char layer. Through this research, it is expected that it can be applied to various industries requiring flame retardancy such as automobile, and architecture by replacing halogen-based flame polymer composites.

열가소성 수지인 폴리프로필렌과 나일론 블렌드를 무기나노입자인 몬모릴로나이트와 상용화제 말레산 무수물 폴리프로필렌을 사용하여 복합화한 나노복합재료에 할로젠 계열의 난연제 데카브로모다이페닐옥사이드를 첨가하였을 때의 분산성과 난연특성 및 기계적 특성의 향상에 대해 실험하였다. 고분자 수지의 난연특성과 기계적 특성은 난연제의 첨가뿐만 아니라 나노복합화를 통해서도 향상될 수 있으며, 고분자 수지 내의 나노입자의 분산정도에 따라 매우 큰 차이가 생긴다. 고분자 수지와 무기나노입자 사이의 분산성과 그에 따른 난연특성 및 기계적 특성을 난연제와 무기나노입자의 함량에 .따라 정량적으로 측정하였다 폴리프로필렌/나일론 블렌드를 몬모릴로나이트로 복합화할 때 2회 이상 컴파운딩하면 완전히 분산되는 것을 XRD 결과로 확인하였다. 폴리프로필렌/나일론 블렌드를 복합화하면 나일론의 첨가로 인한 난연성의 저하를 극복할 수 있었으며, 무기나노입자가 완전히 분산되어 있을 때에는 추가적인 난연특성의 향상을 얻었다. 그리고 폴리프로필렌은 나일론의 첨가로 인하여 인장강도와 충격강도가 약간 증가하였으며, 무기나노입자와의 복합화를 통해서 추가적인 기계적 물성의 증가를 관찰하였다. 이로부터 폴리프로필렌의 기계적 물성의 향상을 위해 첨가한 나일론은 난연특성의 저하를 초래하지만 무기나노입자와의 복합화를 통해 난연특성의 향상과 추가적인 기계적 물성의 향상을 동시에 얻을 수 있었다.

Diphenyl-2-ethanolamidophosphate (DPEOAP) was synthesized to treat polyester fabrics in order to improve its flame retardancy. The flame retardancy and physical properties of DPEOAP-treated polyester fabrics were investigated. The results were as follows: 1) polyester fabrics can be treated with DPEOAP by means of Pad-Dry-Cure method, because DPEOAP was easily soluble in benzene. 2) The most economic conditions of treatment were determined as 10% of DPEOAP cocentration, $140^{\circ}C$ of curing temperature, and 2 minutes of curing time. 3) Though the washablity of DPEOAP is low in comparison with the other products which are purchasable in a market, it has an excellent flame retardment effect 3 times more than in number of flame contact just with 0.66% add-on. 4) The physical properties of DPEOAP treated polyester fabrics were little changed as compared with non-treated fabric.

Flame retardancy and mechanical properties of recycled polyolefinic plastics/inorganic filler composite systems were investigated by using several inorganic flame retardants such as magnesium hydroxide and slag powder generated electro arc furnace Compatibilizer user each maleic anhydride functionalized polyethylene (PE-g-MAH) and polypropylene(PP-g-MAH) or used mixture of these. The effect of polymeric compatibilizers on the properties of composites was studied by tensile and impact test, differential scanning calorimetry, in the changed fracture mechanism. The improved adhesion was particularly reflected in the mechanical properties. The flame retardancy of composites was examined by measuring limiting oxygen index(LOI, ASTM D2863), smoke density(ASTM D2843) and vertical burning test(UL94). Regarding the flame retardant effect, the EAF slag powder is behaving as synergists as they are only active in the presence of magnesium hydroxide.

To maximize a synergy effect in flame-retardancy of flame-retardant coatings, phosphorus and chlorine were introduced in polymer chains. Two-components PU flame-retardant modified polyesters (ABTTC-10C, -20C, -30C) were prepared by curing, at room temperature, of isocyanate (allophanate-trimer) and prepared modified polyesters which contain phosphorus and chlorine. To examine the film properties of the prepared flame-retardant coatings, film specimens were prepared with the prepared coatings. The film properties of ABTTC, ABTTC-10C and ABTTC-20C, which contain 0, 10 and 20wt%, 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid (2,4-DCBA), respectively, were proved to be good, whereas the film properties of ABTTC-30C, which contains 30wt% 2,4-DCBA, were proved to be a little bit poor. Two kinds of flame retardancy tests, $45^{\circ}$Meckel burner method and LOI method, were performed. With the $45^{\circ}$Meckel burner method, three flame-retardant coatings except ABTTC showed less than 3.4 cm of char length, and showed less than 2 seconds of afterflaming and afterglow. From this result, the prepared flame-retardant coatings were proved to have the 1st grade flame retardancy. With the LOI method, the LOI values of the coatings containing more than 10wt% 2,4-DCBA were higher than 30wt%, which means that the coatings possess good flame-retardancy. From these results, it was found that synergistic effect in flame-retardancy was taken place by the introduced phosphorus and chlorine.

Non-halogen flame retardant have been focus of extensive research because of environmental problem. Hexakisphenokycyclotriphosphazene was synthesized in order to use as the flame retardant of ABS resin. And using bisphenol A, bisphenol S, and resorcinol, the polymers which contained cyclophosphazene structure were synthesized in order to also use as the flame retardants of ABS resin. All of the synthesized polymers themselves got the excellent flame retardancy. And as the molecular weight of the compound were increased, the thermal stability was increased. But when the synthesized compounds were used as the flame retardants for ABS resin, the lower molecular weight compound in these compounds showed the better flame retardancy and the better physical properties of ABS resin. In case of using resorcinol, it showed the best flame retardancy.

In order to obtain the maximum flame retardancy with the minimal deterioration of physical properties of PU flame-retardant coatings, chlorine and phosphorous functional groups were introduced into the pre-polymer of modified polyesters. In the first step, the tetramethylene bis(orthophosphate) (TBOP) and neohexanediol dichloroacetate (DCA-adduct) intermediates were synthesized. In the second step, 1,4-butanediol and adipic acid monomers were polymerized with the two kind of intermediates to obtain copolymer. The modified polyesters containing chlorine and phosphorous (ATBA-10C, -20C, and -30C) were synthesized by adjusting the contents of chlorine compound (dichloroacetic acid, 10, 20, 30 wt%) with fixed the content of phosphorous compound (2 wt%). The PU flame-retardant coatings (TTBAH -10C, -20C, and -30C) were prepared using the synthesized ATBAs and HDI-trimer as curing agent at room temperature. The physical properties of PU flame-retardant coatings with chlorine and phosphorous were inferior to those with phosphorous only and the properties were getting worse with increasing chlorine content. Flame retardancy was tested with three methods. With the vertical method, Complete combustion time of ATBAHs were $259^{\sim}347$ seconds, which means that the prepared coatings are good flame-retardant. With the $45^{\circ}$ Meckel burner method, char lengths of the three prepared coatings were less than 2.9 cm, which indicates that the prepared coatings are 1st grade flame retardancy. With the limiting oxygen index (LOI) method, the LOI values of the three prepared coatings were in the range of $30^{\sim}35%$, which proves good flame retardancy of the prepared coatings. From the results of flame retardancy tests of the specimens that contain the same amounts of flame retarding compounds, it was found that the coatings containing both phosphorous and chlorine show higher flame retardancy than the coatings containing phosphorous alone. This indicates that some synergy effect of flame retardancy exists between phosphorous and chlorine.
