Evaporation thermodynamics and sublimation of aluminum telluride

The analysis of the researches completed by now showed the lack of information concerning the definition of quantity of the vapor pressure values over the molten and crystalline aluminum chalcogenide. In the work presented here, the saturated vapor pressure over liquid and crystalline aluminum sesquitelluride was determined for the first time by the boiling point method (isothermal version). The compound was synthesized from elements, with a purity of 99.99 wt. %, identified by X-ray phase analysis as a monophase Al2Te3 was used as a research object. Certain vapor pressure of liquid Al2Te3 corresponds to the dependence, vapor pressure over crystalline telluride is Based on the values of saturated vapor, the temperature dependence of the Gibbs free energy of evaporation and sublimation was determined, by differentiating which concerning temperature, the entropies of the condensed phase - vapor transformation were calculated, and then the enthalpy. Thermodynamic functions were as follows: entropy of evaporation of the liquid phase - 60.71 ± 4.08 J/(mol K), enthalpy - 98.65 ± 6.64 kJ/mol; entropy of sublimation of the crystalline phase - 69.37 ± 4.67 J/(mol K), enthalpy - 108.73 ± 7.31 kJ/ mol. The low value of entropy of the aluminum telluride transfer to the vapor phase indicates the presence of associates in the vapor and of the congruent character of evaporation and sublimation of Al2Te3 indirectly. Defined as the difference between the sublimation enthalpies and evaporation, the enthalpy of aluminum telluride melting was 10.08 ± 0.68 kJ/mol, the entropy calculated similarly was 8.66 ± 0.58 J/(mol K). The data obtained coincide with the thermodynamic values found by other authors by calorimetric methods.

Mixed-dust pneumoconiosis in a dental technician: a multidisciplinary diagnosis case report

BackgroundIn dental laboratories, exposure to crystalline silica can occur during procedures that generate suspended mineral dusts, e.g. dispersion of mixing powders, removal of castings from molds grinding, polishing of castings and porcelain, and use of silica sand for blasting. There is also a large list of toxic agents (acrylic resins, polymeric materials, etc.) used to produce removable and fixed prostheses, but also impression materials and more. Using personal protective equipment and other aids reduces the exposure to these potentially harmful agents.Case presentationWe report the case of a 42-year-old male dental technician who began to suffer from a dry cough and exertional dyspnea after approximately 15 years of work. The operations he conducted for his job resulted in the generation of crystalline silica, aluminum, chromium and titanium dust. The worker did not regularly wear personal protective equipment and some of the above operations were not carried out in closed circuit systems. The Chest X-ray showed diffused micronodules in the pulmonary interstitium of the upper-middle lobes, bilaterally, and a modest left basal pleural effusion. Simple spirometry showed small airway obstruction in its initial stage. High Resolution Computerized Tomography of the chest showed bilateral micronodulation of a miliariform type, with greater profusion to the upper lobes, also present in the visceral pleura, bilaterally. Histological examination showed aggregates of pigment-laden macrophages forming perivascular macules or arranged in a radial pattern around a core of sclerohyalinosis. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry revealed several mineral particles, typically characterized by the presence of crystalline silica and metal aggregates. The environmental concentrations of total dust and its respirable fraction were all lower than the relative TLV-TWA—ACGIH, yet not negligible.ConclusionsThe above findings and a multidisciplinary assessment led to the diagnosis of mixed dust pneumoconiosis s/q with 2/2 profusion of occupational origin. This diagnosis in a dental technician was supported for the first time in literature by environmental exposure analysis.

Characterization and corrosion behavior of Al–Co–rare earth (Ce–La) amorphous alloy

A new Al-based amorphous alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal stability was produced in the Al–Co–RE (Ce–La) system. In this regard, two different amorphous-nanocrystalline ribbons: Al87.6–Co6.4–Ce3.8–La2.2 (M1) and Al82.3–Co10.1–Ce4.8–La2.8 (M2) were prepared using melt spinning. The results reveal the supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) of 218 °C which shows that the M2 alloy has higher thermal stability in comparison to the M1 alloy. The M2 ribbons present the superior corrosion resistance because of the formation of amorphous phase. The icorr, Ecorr, Epit, and Epit – Ecorr values of fully amorphous Al–Co–Ce–La metallic ribbons have a better trend of anti-corrosion performance compared to other crystalline and amorphous aluminum alloys.

Low loss single crystalline aluminum films obtained on Si (1 1 1) through interfacial modulation

Single-crystalline aluminum (Al) films were grown on Si (111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy to study the growth mechanism and demonstrate the role of interface modulation. The effect of the growth temperature is demonstrated on a series of 10 nm thick Al films, showing improved surface wetting by lowering growth temperatures. Post-annealing is proved to be effective on the elimination of twins within a thin Al film. The best twin-free Al film in this study was achieved by a two-step method, with a roughness less than 0.2 nm. The transmission electron microscopy results reveal the atomically sharp Al/Si interface. The ellipsometry measurements show an overall reduction on ε2 compared to the Palik’s values, and especially a more than 40% reduction is achieved in the UV regions.

Raman and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy studies on structure and anion incorporation properties of a hydrated alumina film on aluminum

Hydration treatment of aluminum in hot water is important for its corrosion protection, and also this treatment is a crucial pretreatment in forming dielectric crystalline alumina films on the aluminum anode in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. In this study, a two-layer hydrated film formed on high purity aluminum by hot water treatment was examined using a combination of glow discharge (GD) sputtering and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, the anion penetration behavior through the hydrated alumina layer during anodizing aluminum in several electrolytes was investigated. The results indicate that the outer layer, with a nanosheet-like morphology, consists of a crystalline pseudo-boehmite phase, whereas the relatively compact inner layer is amorphous or poorly crystalline. The inner amorphous layer plays a crucial role in the incorporation of the anions, which is found for the first time. When hydrated aluminum is anodized in phosphate, silicate, and tungstate electrolytes, the inner hydrated alumina layer impedes the penetration of these electrolyte anion species. In contrast, boron species readily penetrate the hydrated alumina layer into the barrier layer formed by anodization in boric acid. This anion-specific incorporation behavior is discussed in terms of ion-selective permeation in the amorphous hydrated alumina layer.

Formation of Bright White Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Films with a Uniform Maze-Like Structure by Anodizing Aluminum in Ammonium Tetraborate Solutions

Bright white plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) films with uniform maze-like structures were obtained by anodizing Al in an ammonium tetraborate solution. High-purity Al plates were galvanostatically anodized in 0.3–2.4 M ammonium tetraborate solutions at 303–343 K and 10–100 Am−2. A PEO film consisting of an outer porous layer consisting of amorphous alumina and crystalline alumina with α-and γ-phases and an inner amorphous barrier alumina layer was obtained on the Al surface. An extremely uneven PEO film with various pore sizes and many cracks was formed in a 0.3 M ammonium tetraborate solution, whereas a relatively uniform porous PEO film with similar pore sizes was obtained in 0.9–2.4 M solutions. This difference in the PEO film morphology was due to the plasma generation behavior while anodizing. The lightness of the PEO film increased with increasing anodizing time and PEO film thickness; thus, a bright white PEO film measuring 87.5 in lightness (L*) was formed on the Al surface. The water wettability of the PEO film exhibited weak hydrophilicity. Moreover, a superhydrophobic PEO film with a contact angle of 154° was easily fabricated by self-assembled monolayer modification. Similar bright white PEO coatings were successfully fabricated on various industrial alloys.

Mechanical properties of crystalline and amorphous aluminum oxide thin films grown by atomic layer deposition

Mechanical properties of atomic-layer deposited alumina thin films containing amorphous, α-Al2O3, θ-Al2O3, δ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 phases were characterized. To initiate the α-Al2O3 growth, α-Cr2O3 seed layers deposited on Si substrates were used. Application of AlCl3 and H2O as the most appropriate precursors together with sufficiently long precursor pulse durations appeared to be important to obtain α-Al2O3 at temperatures down to 350 °C. The highest hardness value measured by the nano-indentation method for as-grown films was 26 GPa. This value was recorded for films deposited on α-Cr2O3 at 450 °C. Post-growth annealing of these films at 750 °C caused a hardness increase up to 30 GPa, that is, close to the corresponding value of single crystal α-Al2O3. For comparison, the hardness values of amorphous films did not exceed 13 GPa while those of the films, containing θ-Al2O3, δ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 phases grown on pristine Si substrates at 750 °C reached 18 GPa. The increase in hardness and elastic modulus was shown to be in correlation with the increase in crystallinity and density of the film material.

Electrical conduction processes in aluminum: Defects and phonons

It is well known that disorder (structural or thermal) induces electronic scattering processes which determine the resistivity of crystalline metals. In this paper, we employ a variant of the Kubo-Greenwood formula to compute the space-projected conductivity and study the atomistic details of conduction in models of crystalline aluminum within the framework of density functional theory. We consider point and extended lattice defects and show with spatial detail how the defect locally affects conduction. We simulate thermal disorder and determine how the disorder affects the conductivity in real space and reveal the spatial nature of thermal fluctuations. Furthermore, we show that well below the Debye temperature, a classical thermal molecular dynamics simulation reproduces the form of temperature-dependent conductivity predicted by the Bloch-Gr\"uneisen formula.

Diffusional behavior of nanoscale lead inclusions in crystalline aluminum

Abstract In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations reveal a permanent chaotic motion of nanosized liquid Pb inclusions embedded in thin aluminum foils. Individual trajectories of the inclusions were analysed to determine the character of their motion. The inclusions moving freely inside a crystal display motion with three-dimensional random walk characteristics while inclusions attached to dislocations display spatially confined random motion localized to the close vicinity of the dislocation lines. The diffusion coefficients of inclusions moving freely in the matrix were determined using Einstein’s classical equation for diffusion of Brownian particles. The diffusion coefficients of inclusions trapped on dislocations were found using an equation based on Smoluchowski’s analysis of Brownian motion of a particle under the action of a linear elastic restoring force. The dependence of the diffusivity on the size of the inclusions suggests that their mobility is controlled by kinetic processes on the inclusion/matrix interfaces. The Arrhenius analysis exhibits two regions with different temperature dependencies. We suppose that this is related to the existence of {111} facets on the inclusion/matrix interfaces.

Porous alumina thermophotovoltaic film for output voltage enhancement of silicon solar cell at room temperature

Antimony doped porous alumina film deposited over indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate can be helpful in the thermophotovoltaic system. The film pore dimensions of the system developed are: pore radius of 200–400 nm, pore height ∼200 nm, inter pore distance ∼400 nm, and pore wall thickness ∼80 nm. These dimensions match to a large extent of specially prepared design values of optimized HfO2-filled photonic crystal for cutoff wavelength (λc) of 1.70 μm. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the synthesized films reveals direct evidence that crystalline alumina coexists with ITO. The trace amount of antimony was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis. However, other optical analysis techniques, e.g., absorbance and photoluminescence, cannot detect such a trace amount. The developed thermophotovoltaic film was applied to cover the top surface of silicon solar panels. The output voltage of the panel was compared to that of panel without thermophotovoltaic film. The transient voltage response of the covered panel after several measurements confirms an increase in voltage (∼0.15 V) with VOC = 10 V and ISC = 0.4 Amp under solar radiation of ∼600 W/m2. The increase in voltage by applying the thermophotovoltaic film is a novel outcome and has immense potential for industrial application in the future.

Durability of UHPFRC functionalised with nanoadditives due to synergies in the action of sulphate and chloride in cracked and uncracked states

This paper studies the durability of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with high Blast Furnace Slag content (BFS) and nanoadditives such as crystalline admixture (CA), alumina nanofibres (ANF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), exposed to different aggressive environmental conditions: 1) three aggressive media: a) deionized water (dw), b) sulphate rich solution (ss) and c) simulated geothermal water (sgw) containing sulphate and chloride; 2) two water interaction conditions: a) static and b) dynamic (water impact); and 3) with and without the presence of cracks. Durability was analysed over 24 months, measuring several physical and chemical parameters of the system, recording changes in both the aggressive media and the concrete. All UHPFRC types demonstrate good durability, showing high resistance to expansion and deformation in the sulphate-rich media. A leaching process occurs in all water interaction systems, the dynamic interaction in sgw being the most aggressive. The interaction of sgw inside the crack favours the formation of solid phases such as calcium carbonates and ettringite, while the presence of nanoadditives affects the response of both the matrix and the formation of precipitates within the crack.

Random Sampling High Dimensional Model Representation Gaussian Process Regression (RS-HDMR-GPR) for representing multidimensional functions with machine-learned lower-dimensional terms allowing insight with a general method

We present an implementation for the RS-HDMR-GPR (Random Sampling High Dimensional Model Representation Gaussian Process Regression) method. The method builds representations of multivariate functions with lower-dimensional terms, either as an expansion over orders of coupling or using terms of only a given dimensionality. This facilitates, in particular, recovering functional dependence from sparse data. The method also allows for imputation of missing values of the variables and for a significant pruning of the useful number of HDMR terms. It can also be used for estimating relative importance of different combinations of input variables, thereby adding an element of insight to a general machine learning method, in a way that can be viewed as extending the automatic relevance determination approach. The capabilities of the method and of the associated Python software tool are demonstrated on test cases involving synthetic analytic functions, the potential energy surface of the water molecule, kinetic energy densities of materials (crystalline magnesium, aluminum, and silicon), and financial market data.

Increasing soil organic carbon content can enhance the long‐term availability of phosphorus in agricultural soils

AbstractThe stocks of phosphorus (P) in soil resulting from decades of over‐fertilisation can be used as a long‐term source of P provided that crop P bioavailability is ensured. This study was set up to identify to what extent soil organic matter (SOM) affects the long‐term availability of these stocks, the premise being that OM may limit irreversible P fixation in soil by blocking P sorption sites on sesquioxides. An ensemble of 42 agricultural soils, composed from experimentally amended soils (field and incubation trials) and soils with contrasting properties, was subjected to 288 days of P depletion with anion exchange membranes as a P sink; this method was previously shown to yield P pools with agronomic significance. Cumulative P desorption data were fitted with a two‐pool kinetic desorption model, yielding estimates for a fast (labile) and total desorbable P pool. On average, 42% of oxalate extractable P (Pox) associated with poorly crystalline iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) (oxy)hydroxides (Feox and Alox) were desorbable and 25% of that fraction (i.e. 11% of Pox) was labile. That labile P pool matched well with the 24 h isotopically exchangeable P (E value) in these soils (R2 = 0.74). Both the fast and total desorbable fraction of Pox were larger at higher degrees of phosphorus saturation (DPS). In soils with a low DPS (<0.30), the labile fraction of Pox increased as the ratio of soil organic carbon to Feox + Alox increased (R2 = 0.70; p < 0.001), but soils with a higher DPS did not exhibit that trend. These results adhere to soil chemical views that enhanced SOM contents reduce fixation of P by competitive sorption and prevention of P diffusion into micropores. No such effects occur in more P saturated soils, probably because orthophosphate sorption and electrostatic effects outcompete effective SOM sorption. The findings suggest that simultaneous application of OM with P fertilisers could keep P better available in the long term, but that this OM application does not affect P fixation when soils are excessively dosed with P.Highlights Long‐term availability of P in soil was assessed in contrasting soils in a P depletion experiment. A high ratio of organic C to Fe and Al in soil enhances the P fraction that is readily available. The positive effect of organic matter on soil P availability is only found at low soil P saturation. Residual P in European soils can sustain adequate P for crops for 5–55 years depending on the soil.

Hydration-induced thermal behavior of crystalline and amorphous dispersed alumina

• The high-throughput express diagnostics realized using quantitative infrared thermography (QIRT) allows us to identify the amorphous phase in polymorphic alumina by the analysis of hydration-dehydration-induced thermal effects. • Unlike crystalline alumina, the amorphous one produces a pronounced excess heating in the hydration process. • In a humid atmosphere, the solid-state exothermic chemical reaction of the oxide transformation into crystalline hydroxide takes place • The pseudoboehmite phase formation during the rehydration process occurs exclusively due to the amorphous alumina interaction with water. Dispersed alumina is one of the main materials used in adsorption and catalytic technologies. However, some poorly controlled factors (exposure to the atmosphere, etc.) can change the oxide phase composition and morphology. Hence, it follows that the development of robust approaches to characterizing the material structure is a topical problem. In this study, the ability of high-performance quantitative infrared thermography (QIRT) to identify the amorphous phase in polymorphic alumina by the analysis of hydration-dehydration-induced thermal effects is demonstrated. The QIRT-obtained findings were verified by a comparison with the XRD patterns measured on the same samples. It is revealed that, in a humid atmosphere, the solid-state exothermic chemical reaction of the oxide transformation into crystalline hydroxide takes place, and, unlike crystalline alumina, the amorphous one produces a pronounced excess heating in this process. Moreover, it is found that the pseudoboehmite phase formation during the rehydration process occurs exclusively due to the amorphous alumina interaction with water. It is shown for the first time that the high-throughput express diagnostics realized using QIRT allows us to determine the amorphous phase content in dispersed alumina and, potentially, in other materials for which this problem is relevant.

Influence of Process Parameters on the Tribological Behavior of PEO Coatings on CP-Titanium 4+ Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Wear resistant ceramic coatings were generated on novel commercially pure titanium grade 4+ alloys by the plasma electrolytic oxidation technique (PEO) in an aluminate and zirconia containing electrolyte. The coatings were obtained adopting a full regular two-level factorial design of experiments (DoE) varying the PEO process parameters current density, repetition rate and duty cycle. The generated coatings were characterized with respect to its wear resistance and mechanical properties by reciprocal ball-on-flat tests and nanoindentation measurements. Thickness, morphology and phase formation of the PEO coatings was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and X-ray diffraction. XRD results indicate the formation of crystalline aluminium titanate (TiAlO) as well as t-ZrO and alumina leading to an increase in hardness and wear resistance of the PEO coatings. Evaluation of the DoE’s parameter interaction shows that the main effects for generating wear resistant coatings are current density and repetition rate. In particular, the formation of mechanically stable and adhesive corundum and zirconia containing coatings with increasing current density and frequency turned out to be responsible for the improvement of the tribological properties. Overall, the PEO processing significantly improves the wear resistance of the CP titanium base alloy.

Aluminum nitride nanophotonics for beyond-octave soliton microcomb generation and self-referencing

Frequency microcombs, alternative to mode-locked laser and fiber combs, enable miniature rulers of light for applications including precision metrology, molecular fingerprinting and exoplanet discoveries. To enable frequency ruling functions, microcombs must be stabilized by locking their carrier-envelope offset frequency. So far, the microcomb stabilization remains compounded by the elaborate optics external to the chip, thus evading its scaling benefit. To address this challenge, here we demonstrate a nanophotonic chip solution based on aluminum nitride thin films, which simultaneously offer optical Kerr nonlinearity for generating octave soliton combs and quadratic nonlinearity for enabling heterodyne detection of the offset frequency. The agile dispersion control of crystalline aluminum nitride photonics permits high-fidelity generation of solitons with features including 1.5-octave spectral span, dual dispersive waves, and sub-terahertz repetition rates down to 220 gigahertz. These attractive characteristics, aided by on-chip phase-matched aluminum nitride waveguides, allow the full determination of the offset frequency. Our proof-of-principle demonstration represents an important milestone towards fully integrated self-locked microcombs for portable optical atomic clocks and frequency synthesizers.

Antibacterial activity with zeolitic nano-particles activated by Microwave plasma

Human wellbeing is jeopardized by microbial pollution. Antimicrobial compounds produced from a number of nanoparticles (NPs) were shown to have strong antimicrobial efficacy in studies. There are possible effects of nanostructured metal oxides on microbial contamination reduction are well established. This research aimed to look at the antimicrobial properties of zeolite (nanoparticles in zeolite) against E. coli (negative bacteria) and Staphylococcus aureus (positive bacteria). Real or synthetic crystalline Aluminum silicates with ion-exchanging properties are known as zeolites. The current search focuses on zeolites' uses in biomedical applications, Normal zeolites have been used in a variety of applications. Normal zeolites have been used in the pharmaceutical industry and medicine for many years. Since several biomedical processes are linked to ion exchange, adsorption, and catalysis, natural zeolites are poised to make major advances in these fields in the near future. Natural silicate compounds, such as zeolite, have been found to have a wide range of biological activities and have been used to treat diarrhea and as a vaccine is adjuvant. The search includes the usage of microwave plasma in enhancing the result of (NPS) solution of zeolite in three concentrations. The result of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) shows that the diameters of the particles become smaller with solution exposed to plasma and with increasing the time expose and the energy gap decrease over time exposing so the diameter of the inhibitions zone increase with increasing the time exposing to plasma.

Changing the Sizes of Details Made of Aluminum Alloys during Microarc Oxidation Process

It is shown that microarc oxidation (MAO) makes it possible to increase the size of aluminum alloy details by forming dense ceramic coatings (MAO-coatings) on them. Found that MAO-process a duration of 50...80 minutes in a liquid solution according to conventional technology allows you to increase the size of the details made of deformable alloy AMg3 and D16 by 78...80 % of the thickness formed on them MAO-coating and MAO-process in solution of corundum particles opens the possibility of increasing the same details by 98...100 % of the thickness formed on them more thick MAO coating. Revealed that increasing solution temperature from 15 to 45 оС leads to a reduction in the thickness of MAO coating and an even more significant reduction in growth dimensions, as well as to reduce the quality of their surfaces. It is shown that the removal of the outer layers of MAO coatings to a thickness of 20 ... 25 μm by grinding contributes to a significant reduction in the roughness of the surfaces of details. It is confirmed that MAO coatings obtained in liquid solution and in solution with corundum particles have a similar mainly polycrystalline structure, but MAO coatings obtained in solution with corundum particles differ in greater thickness and higher corundum content (α-Al2O3). It is established that the outer layers of MAO coatings are characterized by a relatively low content of modifications of crystalline aluminum oxide, so after their removal, the strength properties of the surfaces of details also improve. The principal possibility of increasing the size of details made of deformable aluminum alloys by 150 μm with ensuring high quality of their surfaces is proved.

Reaction kinetics in the system Y2O3/Al2O3 – A solid state reaction forming multiple product phases investigated by using thin film techniques

The kinetics of the heterogeneous solid state reaction between Al2O3 and Y2O3 is investigated by using thin film techniques. Y2O3 films are grown by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on single crystalline alumina substrates with a (0001) orientation. The solid state reactions are performed at a temperature of 1400 °C (1673 K). The cross sections of the reacted samples were investigated by means of SEM and XRD and exhibit a sequence of three product layers, Y3Al5O12 (YAG), YAlO3 (YAP) and Y4Al2O9 (YAM). The simultaneous growth of the product layers is controlled by a diffusional kinetics and the thickness increases are coupled to each other. According to Wagner and Schmalzried, one has to distinguish between rate constants of the first kind (“practical” Tammann constant), in the case of simultanous and coupled growth of multiple product phases, and rate constants of the second kind (“true” Tammann constant), in the case of the uncoupled and only growth of one product phase in equilibrium with the adjacent phases. The growth kinetics for a solid reaction forming three product phases (layer) is analysed in detail using linear transport theory. For the formation of YAG, YAP and YAM the rate constants of the second kind are determined from the experimental data and those of the first kind are calculated and compared to the available literature data. Based on these considerations, a detailed overview about the phase formation kinetics in the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C can be given for the first time. The (Nernst-Planck coupled) cation conductivities are calculated.

Facile synthesis of phytic acid and aluminum hydroxide chelate-mediated hybrid complex toward fire safety of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer

A bio-based intumescent flame retardant (denoted as PIMEPA@ATH) was synthesized via metal chelation using water as the media. The PIMEPA@ATH complex aggregations was used to improve the flame retardancy of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) by synergistic combination of piperazine-melamine phytate complex (denoted as PIMEPA) and aluminum hydroxide (ATH). During combustion, the in-situ growth of crystalline aluminum metaphosphate arising from PIMEPA@ATH helped to cast more compact protective barriers containing metal ions and aromatic rings. The results showed that the EVA sample containing 30 wt% PIMEPA@ATH achieved the UL-94 V0 rating without dripping in the vertical burning test and a reduction of 79% in peak heat release rate and 58% reduced peak smoke production rate in the cone calorimeter test. Moreover, the tensile properties of EVA/PIMEPA@ATH were improved compared with the EVA/PIMEPA control. Better char formation and improved interfacial adhesion were primarily responsible for the enhancements in flame retardancy and mechanical performance. This work demonstrated the flame-retardant mechanism of PIMEPA@ATH, and explored a facile and green “chelate-mediated” strategy for synthesis of bio-based and ATH chelate-mediated intumescent flame retardant.
