摘要
Silicone rubber foam (SiRF) is a promising porous material that is widely applied in various fields. However, its intrinsic flammability nature remains a significant challenge. One of the simplest and the most economical solutions is to incorporate high content flame-retardant fillers. Unfortunately, such approach is limited by several drawbacks, including poor filler dispersion, difficulty in processing and negative effect on mechanical flexibility. Herein, we report a green and facile strategy for surface-assembling ultralow content of MXene sheets bonded onto the pore surface of SiRF via the effective foaming reaction process. The as-prepared MSiRF-0.2 composite at 0.2 wt% MXene exhibited lightweight characteristic, wide-temperature mechanical flexibility, UL94-V0 grade, limited oxygen index of > 27 %, and exceptional smoke suppression (reduction by 88.24 %). Furthermore, flameretardant mechanism was discussed based on the char structure observation. This study provides a novel approach for fabricating mechanically flexible and flame-retardant SiRF via in-situ reactive assembly of low content MXene sheets.
