Microencapsulation based fire retardant eco-friendly jute composite

Natural fiber reinforced composites (NFCs) are a promising replacement for conventional wood materials in furniture and households. However, the flammability of natural fibers limits their practical application. The composite matrix structure can be modified to enhance flame resistance. In this study, eco-friendly cost-effective fire-retardants (FRs), micro-integrated Triphenyl Phosphate (m-TPP), Aluminum Trihydroxide (ATH) were added physically different concentrations epoxy resins (EPs). Underwriter Laboratories 94 (UL-94) test revealed that fire resistance FR epoxy, EP 88% m-TPP 9% ATH 3% , increased by increasing TPP quantity with highest V-0 rating. thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated better internal 100% . no char residue was observed found which confirmed its showed poor tensile, flexural, compressional strengths. than ATH. mechanical stability samples containing is those m-TPP. Also, addition FRs reduced tensile flexural strengths; however, strength modulus significantly improved, implied potential use industry.
