Preparing and Applying of Flame Retardant Microcapsules Containing Magnesium Hydroxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, flame retardant microcapsules were synthesized using magnesium hydroxide as core materials, melamine resin as the shell material. The structure, diameters and thermal properties of prepared microcapsules were investigated by using FTIR, ELS, DSC and TGA. The effects of core/shell ratio on the properties of microcapsules were studied.Flame retardant materials of low-density polyethylene/magnesium hydroxide microcapsules were prepared.The tensile strength and elongation at break tests were performed to determine its mechanical property.Inflammability of the materials was also studied.The results showed the prepared magnesium hydroxide microcapsule shows good thermal stability and it has free compatibility with the polymer.The composites of HDPE/MH microcapsules have good performance.
