The aim of this study was to investigate the usability of boron oxide and boric acid to enhance flame retardancy of (aluminum diethyl phosphinate)-type organophosphorus compound in polyamide-6 and its 15 wt% of short (glass fiber)-reinforced composite. Materials were compounded by melt-mixing method via a twin-screw extruder, and the specimens for testing and analyses were shaped by injection and compression-molding. For the neat polyamide-6 specimens, mass loss cone calorimetry analyses indicated that replacement of a certain amount of aluminum diethyl phosphinate with boron oxide or boric acid could result in significant improvements in many flame-retardancy parameters. For instance, the suppression in peak heat release rate value of polyamide-6 could be as much as 84% or 86% for boron oxide and boric acid, respectively, whereas it was only 32% when aluminum diethyl phosphinate was used alone. Char microscopy, thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction, and evolved gas analyses revealed that the main contribution of boron oxide and boric acid to the barrier mechanism of aluminum diethyl phosphinate was the formation of additional glassy boron oxide layers and boron phosphate layers.

Effect of boron compounds on fire protection properties of epoxy based intumescent coating ÜNLÜ, Şaban Murat; Tayfun, Umit; YILDIRIM, Bekir; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of boron compounds on fire protection properties of intumescent coating based on ammonium polyphosphate (APP). Three kinds of boron compounds namely boric acid (BA), zinc borate (ZB) and melamine borate (MB) were used. Total amount of flame retardant additive was kept constant at 30 wt%, and boron compounds were used at three concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 wt%. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectros...
Influences of nanoclays on the flame retardancy of fiber-filled and unfilled polyamide-6 with and without aluminum diethylphosphinate Kaynak, Cevdet (2015-03-01) The objective of this study was to investigate contribution of nanoclays to the flame retardancy of polyamide-6 and its 15 wt% short glass fiber-reinforced composite with and without an organophosphorus flame-retardant aluminum diethylphosphinate. Nanocomposites were compounded by melt mixing method via twin-screw extruder, and the specimens for testing and analyses were shaped by injection and compression molding. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analyses indicated that nanoclay layer...
Use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in matrix solid phase dispersion extraction combined with gas chromatography Njie, Njaw; Aygün, Rüveyde Sezer; Department of Chemistry (2008) The use of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) as solid sorbent in Matrix Solid-Phase Dispersion (MSPD) extraction and preconcentration method was presented to determine some commonly used organophosphorus insecticides/OPIs in honey samples using a Gas Chromatography Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). OPIs are poisonous compounds used to kill insects and rodents by affecting their nervous system. The limit of detections obtained after MSPD extraction were 7.0 ng/g for Malathion, Malaoxon and Fenitrothion...
Use of zinc borate as the third component of a traditional brominated flame retardant system in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene Kaynak, Cevdet (2013-11-01) Because zinc borate is an effective smoke suppressant and cheaper than antimony trioxide, the main aim of this study was to investigate usability of zinc borate as the third component of a traditional binary Br/Sb2O3 system in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Limiting oxygen index, UL-94, and mass loss cone calorimeter studies indicated that almost all flame retardancy parameters were kept when certain percentages of antimony trioxide were replaced with zinc borate. Residue analysis revealed that the predom...
Production of lightweight aerated alkali-activated slag pastes using hydrogen peroxide Sahin, Murat; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Bayer, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-30) This study investigated the production of lightweight aerated alkali-activated slag pastes (LAAASP) using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). A mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution was used for the activation of slag. Physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of samples cured under different curing conditions were investigated. Various water-to-slag ratios (W/S) and H2O2 contents were used to explore the expansion mechanism of fresh mixtures and to investigate their effect on apparent density. ...
