Advanced flame retardant materials and fabrication methods

加拿大对无毒高效阻燃材料（FRM）的需求很大，而且还在不断增长，用于各种各样的商业产品。许多加拿大公司都参与生产FRM和各种含有FRM的产品。新的联邦法规禁止有毒的FRM，这种材料在过去被广泛使用，必须被新材料取代。该项目的重点将是可持续发展新的无毒和有效的FRM和含有FRM的商业产品的制造技术。该项目是基于麦克马斯特大学和先进陶瓷公司（ACC）的积极合作。新方法将基于开发具有改进FR性能的生物相容性FRM。另一个重要的创新与存储器型FRM的发展有关。与其他类型的FRM相比，这种材料的FR性能和结构可以被恢复。记忆型FRM具有生物相容性、热稳定性和高FR效率等优点。合作工作将集中在开发和测试纳米FRM和使用新分散剂改善性能的新FRM组合物。使用对不同材料具有较强界面附着力的新型分散剂是利用先进胶体技术制备纳米颗粒和复合材料的关键因素。陶瓷- frm复合材料和聚合物- frm复合材料将采用新的胶体技术。另一项创新将涉及使用FR纳米纤维和纳米管来制造具有改进FR和机械性能的复合材料。基于电合成的新电化学策略将用于制备含FRM的复合薄膜。这个项目的好处包括将新技术转让给行政协调会和其他参与可持续生产含FRM产品的公司。提出的工作满足了加拿大工业界在FRM材料科学与工程、陶瓷与聚合物技术、复合材料、胶体技术、电化学、纳米技术等领域对HQP的需求。

Canada has large and increasing demand in non-toxic and efficient flame retardant materials (FRM) for a large variety of commercial products. Many Canadian companies are involved in manufacturing of FRM and various products, containing FRM. New Federal regulations banned toxic FRM, which were widely used in the past and must be replaced by new materials. The project will be focused on the sustainable development of new non-toxic and efficient FRM and manufacturing technologies for commercial products, containing FRM. The project is based on active collaboration of McMaster university and Advanced Ceramics Corporation (ACC). New approach will be based on the development of biocompatible FRM with improved FR properties. Another important innovation is related to the development of Memory type FRM. In contrast to other types of FRM, the FR properties and structure of such materials can be restored. Memory type FRM offer many other advantages, such as biocompatibility, improved thermal stability and high FR efficiency. The collaborative work will be focused on the development and testing of nano-FRM and new FRM compositions with improved properties using new dispersing agents. The use of new dispersing agents with strong interfacial adhesion to different materials is a key factor for the fabrication of nanoparticles and fabrication of composites by advanced colloidal techniques.Ceramic-FRM composites and polymer-FRM composites will be obtained using new colloidal techniques. Another innovation will be related to the use of FR nanofibers and nanotubes for the fabrication of composites with improved FR and mechanical properties. New electrochemical strategies, based on electrosynthesis, will be used for the fabrication of composite films, containing FRM. The benefits of this project will include the transfer of new technology to ACC and other companies involved in the sustainable manufacturing of FRM containing products. The proposed work meets the need of Canadian industry in HQP in materials science and engineering of FRM, ceramic and polymer technology, composites, colloidal technology, electrochemistry, nanotechnology and other fields.
