Preparation and Properties of Paraffin/Polyurethane Foams Composite with Flame Retardant as Thermal Energy Storage Materials

並列摘要


Thermal energy storage plays an important role in energy conservation, and can be applied in many areas. Paraffin/polyurethane foams composite with flame retardant as thermal energy storage materials were prepared by absorbing paraffin in honeycomb structure of polyurethane rigid foams. These composites provide a new energy saving materials, which can be used for building heating/cooling systems, and the composites can also enhance the thermal comfort for residents. In the composites, paraffin was used as the phase change material (PCM), polyurethane (PU) rigid foams acting as the supporting material, or as nano-structured calcium carbonate (nano-CC) and red phosphorus (RP) acting as the flame retardant. The thermal properties, such as phase change temperature and latent heat, were investigated by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Chemical structure, micro-structure and flame retardant properties of paraffin/ polyurethane foams composite were determined by FT-IR, SEM and limited oxygen index (LOI) tester, respectively. The SEM results showed that paraffin was well dispersed in honeycomb structure of polyurethane rigid foams. The DSC results indicated that the composites melt at 80.3℃ with a latent heat of 25.8kJ/kg when the mass percentage of paraffin in the composites was 16.7%. The LOI results showed that nano-CC and RP decreased the flammability of the composites.
