Abstract
- Conductive polymer composites have been caught increasing attentions in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding field. Due to the flammability of polymer and long-term high power working status, fire incidents on environment and human health must be taken into consideration during the preparation of the polymer materials. Thus, developing an EM waves-clean material with exceptional fire safety and smoke suppression capacity is the vital issue. In this article, a facile and eco-friendly approach to fabricate flame retardant polyurethane (PU) sponge was carried out by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly with octaammonium-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OAPOSS) and titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 T x) nanosheets. With the help of silicane and the barrier effect from Ti 3 C 2 T x , the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased by 50%. Thanks to the exceeding catalytic capacity of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanoflakes, the production of harmful smokes or gases such as carbon oxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) were sharply reduced with 71% and 27%, respectively. Furthermore, the flame retardant PU sponge obtained electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capacity after dip-coating procedure in MXene dispersion owing to the excellent electrical conductivity of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets. The EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) accomplished 32.57 dB and still remained 27.63 dB after 300 times compression. Therefore, this work could provide a promising way to accomplish flame retardant PU sponge with superior smoke suppression capacity, which could be used in cleaner production of modern electronics and EMI shielding materials. [Display omitted] • The facile cleaner approach to obtain multifunctional polyurethane (PU) sponge. • OAPOSS@MXene nanocoating was constructed on PU sponge via a clean layer-by-layer method. • The peak heat release rate and CO production was decreased by >50% and 71%, respectively. • Electromagnetic interference shielding capability remained >85% after 300 times compression. • Toxic fire effluents release-cleaner, electromagnetic waves-cleaner production of PU sponge were achieved.
