The invention discloses a
liquid crystal flame-retardant foam material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: with an aromatic diphenol
monomer, an aromatic diacid
monomer and a terminated hydroxyl and terminated carboxyl containing aromatic
monomer as raw materials, in the presence of an active terminal group, a catalyst and an
acetic acid compound, under the protection of
nitrogen, reacting for 30-60min at 120-140 DEG C; then, raising the temperature to 280-325 DEG C at the rate of 0.5-1.5 DEG C / min, and reacting for 1-3h to obtain a
solid; performing vacuum heating on the
solid to obtain the
liquid crystal flame-retardant foam material. According to the preparation method,
acetic acid as a byproduct remaining during a
polycondensation reaction of a
liquid crystal polymer is used as a
foaming agent, CO2 is decomposed and released to form a microporous structure at high temperature, and a curing reaction is performed on a matrix to forma crosslinked
network structure, so that a novel method for preparing the liquid
crystal flame-retardant foam material is opened up; particularly, a flame retardant is not required to be added to achieve a flame-retardant effect, and a UL-94 V0 flame retardant rating is reached; in addition, the preparation method has the characteristics of environment friendliness, simpleness, convenience and wide applicability.
