Preparation method and application of silver-loaded polymer microspheres
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic flame retardants, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of silver-loaded polymer microspheres.
Background
The polymer material has the advantages of excellent physical and chemical stability, easy processing and forming and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of buildings, coating paints, packaging and the like. However, most of polymer materials are flammable in practical application, so that flame retardant modification of polymer materials is not slow. However, when a flame retardant is added into a polymer material system, the flame retardant performance of the system is improved and the mechanical properties are reduced. How to consider the flame retardance and the mechanical property of the material is also a problem to be solved by researchers.
With the development of polymer flame retardants, the requirements of people on flame retardants are gradually developing from the original single flame retardant property to multifunctional properties, and it is expected that new functions and properties are imparted to materials while flame retardant modification is performed.
