The effect of zinc bisdiethylphosphinate (ZnPi) and organoclay on mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber was investigated. ZnPi was preferred due to its fusible character at spinning temperature and organoclay was used for synergistic interaction. The mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of fibers were examined by tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and micro combustion calorimeter (MCC). The tensile strength of the PET fiber reduced with the addition of both ZnPi and organoclay. The TG results showed that the inclusion of ZnPi increased the char residue. The MCC results showed that the addition of organoclay increased the barrier effect of formed char which depends on char amount, thickness, and integrity and reduces the maximum heat evolved during the test. This result was also important in terms of showing that the organoclay was effective in thermally thin samples.

Flame retardancy and mechanical properties of pet-based composites containing phosphorus and boron-based additives
Kilinc, Mert; ÇAKAL, GAYE ÖZGÜR; Bayram, Göknur; Eroglu, Inci; Özkar, Saim (2015-06-10)
Flame retardancy of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, was improved using different flame retardant additives such as triphenylphosphate, triphenylphosphine oxide, zinc borate, and boron phosphate (BP). Composites were prepared using a twin screw extruder and subsequently injection molded for characterization purposes. The flame retardancy of the composites was determined by the limiting oxygen index (LOI) test. Smoke emission during fire was also evaluated in terms of percent light transmittance. Thermal s...
Synergistic fire retardancy of colemanite, a natural hydrated calcium borate, in high-impact polystyrene containing brominated epoxy and antimony oxide
Kaynak, Cevdet (2011-05-01)
This study explores for the first time the synergistic fire retardant action of natural hydrated calcium borate, namely the mineral colemanite, which partially replaces antimony oxide in brominated flame retardant high-impact polystyrene compounds. Various antimony oxide to hydrated calcium borate ratios were employed keeping the brominated flame retardant additive at a constant loading level. With partial colemanite substitution for antimony oxide, lower heat release rate, total heat evolved and fire growt...
Thermal analysis and kinetics of biomass samples
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2013-02-01)
In this research, combustion behavior of agricultural residues known as miscanthus, poplar wood, and rice husk was investigated using thermal analysis techniques. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques were used. Combustion experiments were performed at five different heating rates (5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 degrees C/min). The reaction regions, ignition and burnout temperatures, heat flow rate values of biomass samples are determined. Activation energy of the biomass s...
Thermal and mechanical properties of microwave- and heat-cured poly(methyl methacrylate) used as dental base material
Usanmaz, Ali; Ates, J; Dogan, A (Wiley, 2003-10-03)
The thermal and mechanical properties of dental base materials cured by microwave and conventional heat methods were studied. The commercial dental base poly(methvl metacrylate) (PMMA) powder and liquid were mixed in a 3/1 ratio. They were polymerized by a peroxy catalyst at 63degreesC, then cured with a boiling water temperature and microwave radiation for periods of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 min for heat curing and 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 min for microwave radiation. The microwave radiation outputs used wer...
Influence of zinc borate on flame retardant and thermal properties of polyurethane elastomer composites containing huntite-hydromagnesite mineral
Dike, Ali Sinan; Tayfun, Umit; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-11-01)
The effect of zinc borate (ZnB) was studied on the flame retardant and thermal properties of thermoplastic polyurethane containing huntite-hydromagnesite. The flame retardant properties of thermoplastic polyurethane-based composites were investigated using limiting oxygen index, vertical burning test (UL 94), thermogravimetric analysis, and mass loss calorimeter. No remarkable effect of ZnB was observed on the flammability properties of composites. UL 94 rating did not change regardless of the added amount ...
