Ultra-tough, photothermal healing and fire safety polystyrene/hydroxylated black phosphorus-triazine COF composites

Devoting to coping with safety risk spreading with polymers, this work achieves dramatic synergistic improvements in composite toughness, photothermal healing, and fire safety through a novel targeted modification strategy for black phosphorus (BP). In detail, we herein use the emerging 2D BP as a template for in-situ growth by covalent triazine framework (HBP-CTF). Incorporating gradient increased HBP-CTF (1, 2, 4?wt%) into polystyrene (PS), the elongation at break increased by 61.59%, 74.60% and 62.82% for composites, respectively. This is attributed to the synergistic effects of two components of HBP-CTF as stress conduction unit and interface and dispersion improver, respectively. Furthermore, PS/HBP-CTF composites achieve photothermal healing over 96% in strength and elongation at break induced by outstanding photothermal properties (linearly quantifiable, R2?>?0.997). Noted, PS/HBP-CTF2.0 and PS/HBP-CTF4.0 achieve record reductions of 61.77% and 69.85% in peak heat release rate, accompanied by dramatically reduced total heat release. Taking the pyrolysis of HBP-CTF as an index, this work proposes the idea of using P4 as the key product to monitor and distribute gas phase effects for BP-based flame retardants. The hybridization of CTF to HBP promotes the slow and continuous release of P4 in the gas phase, revealing the structure and composition of char that cross-linking P and N. This work provides strategies for synergistically overcoming composite brittleness, crack failure, and high flammability, paving the way for practical applications.
