T1 - Flame retardant polyesters with DOPO building blocks N2 - Polyesters with DOPO substituents can be successfully synthesized with 10-[2,5-Bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]-9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO-HQ-glycolether) and DOPO-substituted dimethyl succinate (PIta). These polyester materials show an effective flame retardancy which can be fine-tuned by the chemical structure of the polyester backbone.

The mode of action of an intumescent system and each component individually, was methodically investigated in a semi-finished leather. Vertical flammability test results showed that the investigated semi-finished leather satisfies the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration; in addition, afterglow time is strong minimized and forced fire behavior pointed out an important reduction on smoke production.

A1 - Schartel, Bernhard T1 - Life is branched — Hyperbranched polyphosphoesters, -di/amidates and –amides in epoxy resins N2 - The demands for modern flame retardants are higher than ever: a flame retardant must function effectively in a certain polymer matrix and avoid critical alterations to the material’s properties. Ideally, a flame retardant additive should be easily miscible and show no sign of leaching or blooming from the matrix. Additionally, the flame retardant should be non-toxic, non-accumulating and biocompatible. Hyperbranched polymers are a promising group of multifunctional flame retardants which fulfill these demands: their complex shape enables high miscibility and avoids leaching or blooming, while their high molecular weight potentially increases biocompatibility and lowers accumulation and toxicity. Moreover, they exhibit a low impact on polymer properties and a good flame retardant performance. This work examines the efficacy and mode of action of phosphorus-based hyperbranched polymeric flame retardants in bisphenol A-based epoxy matrices. To investigate the effect of the complex shape, the hyperbranched polymers are compared to their corresponding monomeric variants. Furthermore, the materials are synthesized to contain systematically varying oxygen-to-nitrogen ratios, allowing for new insight into what role the chemical surrounding of phosphorous plays in flame retardant efficacy. Using a multi-methodical approach, including thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), hot stage FTIR, micro combustion calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 tests and cone calorimetry experiments, the decomposition mechanisms and the flame retardant modes of action of these flame retardants in epoxy resins are investigated, shedding new light on the chemistry of flame retardancy.

This talk delivers thought-provoking impulses, picking up some overseen details as well as raising basic questions. A detailed scientific insight in flame retardant modes of action much more than an overview is presented.
