Article Abstract
Modified ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) was prepared as a novel mono-component intumescent flame retardant (IFR) via the ionic exchange between ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and piperazine sulfonate, which is synthesized by self-assembly using 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine (AEP) and -aminobenzene sulfonic acid (ASC) as raw materials. This all-in-one IFR integrating three functional elements (carbon, acid, and gas source) showed more efficient flame retardancy and excellent smoke suppression as well as better mechanical properties than the conventional APP. The incorporation of 22.5 wt.% MAPP into polypropylene (PP) eliminated the melt dripping phenomenon and passed the UL-94 V-0 rating. The results of the cone calorimetry test (CCT) revealed that the release of heat, smoke, and CO is significantly decreased, demonstrating that this novel IFR endows PP with excellent fire safety more effectively. For PP/MAPP composites, a possible IFR mechanism was proposed based on the analysis of the pyrolysis gas and char residues.

The flammability and poor ultraviolet (UV) aging resistance of polylactic acid (PLA) limit its applications outdoors and in fields requiring flame retardancy. To address these limitations, this study designed ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as the core, the biopolymer chitosan (CS) as the inner shell, and lignin (LK) as the outer shell. CS and LK are deposited on the surface of APP via electrostatic interaction in the aqueous phase to prepare a core-shell structure flame retardant APP@CS@LK with anti-UV aging properties.

The differentiation of the nitrate reduction pathway is of great significance in the ecosystem, as it determines the occurrence form of ecosystem N. In order to explore the impact and mechanism of different algal dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) on differentiation of nitrate (NO-N) reduction pathway, small-scale enclosure experiment was conducted to analyze the DON and DOP composition, nutrient level, microbial community composition and NO-N reduction pathway in ponds with Microcystis and Dolichospermum blooms. The main DON produced by Microcystis included lipids and proteins as well as carbohydrate which were readily degradable, whereas the DOP produced by Dolichospermum predominantly consists of readily degradable forms such as carbohydrate and protein.

Developing fire protection coatings that reconcile outstanding fire safety with environmental sustainability remains a critical challenge in materials engineering. In this study, a new biomass-based intumescent coating was constructed from biomass-derived tannic acid, ammonium polyphosphate, melamine, zinc carbonate, and basalt scales. The resulting coating demonstrated excellent fire resistance performance, maintaining backside temperature of steel below 150 °C during 1200 s butane torch exposure, while the control steel with neat epoxy coating reaching structural failure threshold of 450 °C within 160 s.

The flame retardancy and mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composites were significantly enhanced by incorporating ionomer-modified silica (IPU-SiO) as compatibilizer and microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (KH560@APP). The addition of 2 wt% IPU-SiO facilitated interfacial compatibility of the two polymer phases. Meanwhile, the incorporation microencapsulated KH560@APP and IPU-SiO effectively promoted char formation, enhanced barrier properties, and reduced the release of combustible volatiles.
