Metallic oxides as fire retardants and smoke suppressants in flexible poly(vinyl chloride)

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 5 2010
Antonio Rodolfo Jr.
Abstract Combustion and smoke emission properties of PVC compounds, modified with copper (II), molybdenum, and zinc oxides, were studied using cone calorimeter, limiting oxygen index (LOI) and thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometry (TG/MS). Results showed that the metal oxides have a very significant effect on the combustion and smoke suppression properties of the PVC compounds. The results also confirmed the anticipation mechanisms of the dehydrochlorination reactions, reductive coupling, and elimination of benzene resulting from the presence of copper (II), molybdenum, and zinc, indicated by the increasing content of postcombustion char residue and the significant reduction in benzene production, indicated by the MS measurements performed. The results also provide indications that the combination of the copper (II) and molybdenum oxides is the one with the best balance of combustion properties, as it reduced the heat released and promoted the suppression of smoke more efficiently. The formulations containing ZnO, because of their strong Lewis acid character, indicated a less pronounced reduction of smoke released during the combustion process, when compared with copper (II) and molybdenum oxides. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ionic elastomers based on carboxylated nitrile rubber and magnesium oxide

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 3 2007
L. Ibarra
Abstract The crosslinking of carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) with magnesium oxide (MgO) leads to an ionic elastomer with thermoplastic nature and better physical properties than the ones obtained with other metallic oxides. The crosslinking reaction leads to the formation of a metallic salt as unique product, as it could be seen on the ATR analysis of the samples, prepared at different reaction times. The mechanical properties of the material increase with the amount of crosslinking agent and segregation of an ionic microphase takes place. The presence of this microphase is demonstrated by a relaxation at high temperatures. The apparent activation energy of this relaxation is smaller than the activation energy of the glass transition of the elastomer, the former being more dependent on the amount of metallic oxide than is the latter. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface Nanometer-Scale Patterning in Realizing Large-Scale Ordered Arrays of Metallic Nanoshells with Well-Defined Structures and Controllable Properties

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 15 2010
Shikuan Yang
Abstract Surface patterns of nanoshell arrays play an important role in diverse applications including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors, lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and optical devices. This paper describes an innovative surface nanopatterning technique for realizing large-scale ordered arrays of metallic spherical nanoshells with well-defined structures. Ag nanoshell arrays are prepared using polystyrene sphere templates by an electrophoretic process in Ag colloidal solutions. The fabricated Ag nanoshell arrays have a high controllability of the structural parameters, including the diameter, the surface roughness, and the intershell spacing, giving rise to the tunable properties of nanoshell arrays. As an example, tunable SERS and localized surface plasmon resonance of the nanoshell arrays are demonstrated by controlling the structural parameters. The surface nanopatterning technique shown in this paper is a general fabrication process in achieving not only metallic nanoshell arrays, but also nanoshell arrays of semiconductors and metallic oxides.
