High-efficiency phosphorus/nitrogen-containing flame retardant on epoxy resin

2021 
Abstract A phosphorus/nitrogen-containing compound (named DOPO-BAPh) was synthesized via the graft reaction between 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and bisphenol A bis(phthalonitrile) containing benzoxazine. The flame retardancy of DOPO-BAPh was investigated on epoxy resin (EP). The results showed that DOPO-BAPh catalyzed the curing reaction of due to the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the structure. The nitrile group in DOPO-BAPh was self-cured in EP to form cross-linked networks containing aromatic heterocycles, further enhancing the stability of the char layer formed after combustion. The introduction of DOPO-BAPh strengthened flame retardancy of the EP. With only 0.26 wt.% phosphorus of loading level, the modified EP reached an LOI value of 35.8% and obtained V-0 rating in UL-94 testing. And DOPO-BAPh exhibited char-forming ability during the decomposition. Besides, the DOPO-BAPh showed flame-retardant activity in both the gas and condensed phases.
