Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coatings and adhesives are indispensable polymer materials used for modern industrial development. They are widely used in construction, aerospace, electronic information, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and other applications. As people pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, research on environmentally friendly coatings and adhesives is receiving increasing attention. For example, water-based coatings, water-based paints, photocuring resins, re-use adhesives, powder coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and solvent-free adhesives have been developed and applied at high speeds. This Special Issue aims to establish a platform for the above-mentioned research on environmentally friendly coatings and adhesives. We welcome all scholars to submit papers.

Abstract: With the rapid development of electronic information technology, higher requirements have been put forward for the dielectric properties and load-bearing capacity of materials. In continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, polypropylene matrix is a non-polar polymer with very low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, but polypropylene is extremely flammable, which greatly limits its application. Aiming at the better application of flame retardant modified continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites (FR/GF/PP) in the field of electronic communication, this paper comparatively analyzes the effects of four different kinds of flame retardants (Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), halogen-free one-component flame retardant (MONO), halogen-free compound flame retardant (MULTI), and intumescent flame retardant (IFR)) on the properties of FR/GF/PP, including mechanical properties, dielectric properties and flame retardant properties. Through comparison, it is realized that among the FR/GF/PP, IFR has the highest performance in mechanical properties, MULIT has better performance in LOI, DBDPE and IFR have better performance in flame retardant rating, and DBDPE and IFR have lower dielectric properties. Finally, gray relational analysis is applied to propose an approach for selecting the optimal combination(flame retardant type and flame retardant content) of comprehensive performance . In the application exemplified in this paper, the performance of IFR-3 modified GF/PP is optimized.
