Title: Innovations of Chongfu Zhou in Flame Retardant Technologies
Introduction
Chongfu Zhou is a notable inventor based in Avon, Ohio, recognized for his contributions to the field of flame retardant materials. With a total of six patents to his name, Zhou has made significant advancements in developing non-halogenated flame retardants that enhance safety and performance in various applications.
Latest Patents
Zhou's latest patents include a completely non-halogenated flame retardant polycarbonate compound. This innovative compound incorporates polycarbonate and non-halogenated termini-functional chemicals, such as vinyl-terminated siloxane and non-halogenated hydride-functional polysiloxane. These ingredients react in the presence of heat to form a drip suppressant adduct, achieving a UL 94 rating of V-0 at a thickness of at least 3.2 mm, with no dripping or igniting of the cotton indicator during testing. Another significant patent is for hydrolytically stable functionalized polyphosphonate flame retardants. These functionalized non-halogenated flame retardants exhibit improved hydrolytic stability, represented by decreased conductivity when immersed in distilled water and heated. The functionalized flame retardant comprises polyphosphonate modified by epoxy-functional styrene-acrylic oligomer or aromatic carbodiimide, and optionally includes an antioxidant.
