Fabrication and Thermal Degradation Kinetics of PBTBEONano-Sb2O3 Composites

Abstract EN

Developing polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with high thermal stability and flame-retardant properties is crucial for automotive, biomedical devices, electronics, and other fields.

Herein, we focus on a PBT/brominated epoxy resin (BEO)/nano-Sb2O3 composites by a melt-blending method.

The effects of heating rate and nano-Sb2O3 content on the thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of PBT composites were studied by TG-DSC.

With the increasing of heating rate, the thermal hysteresis effect of temperature gradient is produced, which is eliminated when the temperature exceeds 400°C.

With the increase of nano-Sb2O3 content, the Ea of PBT/BEO/nano-Sb2O3 composites increases at first and then decreases.

When the content of nano-Sb2O3 is 3 wt%, the Ea of PBT/BEO/nano-Sb2O3 is the highest, which is 66.18 kJ/mol (31.43%) higher than that of neat PBT.

Also, the exploration of the thermal degradation kinetics of PBT/BEO/nano-Sb2O3 composites is expected to provide research ideas for new high flame-retardant materials.
