Polyphenylene sulfide fabric with enhanced oxidation resistance and hydrophobicity through polybenzoxazine surface coating for emission control in harsh environment
2022
Emissions from power generation and municipal waste incineration sources are primarily at high temperatures and contain corrosive gases, particulate pollutants and are enormously challenging on the performance of the filtration systems in use. Here, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) nonwoven fabric, a primary material used commercially in such settings, is modified with a polybenzoxazine precursor as a coating to deliver improved thermal and oxidation resistance to the fibrous substrate. The polybenzoxazine precursor undergoes chain propagation and crosslinking upon the treatment process to provide a protective layer over the PPS fibers such that enhanced structural stability in a harsh environment was demonstrated. We have shown the improved overall tensile strength (+15%), Young’s modulus (+26%), and more hydrophobic nature of the modified PPS fabric, while the superior environmental stability and better filtration performance could be achieved. Such methodology may lead to higher service temperature and extended service time of the PPS filtration bags in harsh fire exhaustion airstreams encountered in power plants or municipal garbage incineration facilities. The crosslinkable benzoxazine could also be the most cost-effective high temperature coating layer on fibers, enabling future high-performance air filtration materials.
