Abstract:
Extensive application of epoxy resins (EPs) is highly limited by their intrinsic flammability. Combining EPs with nanoparticles and phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants is an effective approach to overcome the drawback. In this work, simultaneous incorporation of octa-aminophenyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (OapPOSS) and polyphosphazene into EP was reported for the first time. Significantly, reduced peak of heat release rate and UL-94V-0 rating were achieved by tuning suitable ratios of polyphosphazene and OapPOSS for EP composites. During combustion, polyphosphazene promoted char formation and released nonflammable gases such as CO2, NH3, and N-2 to dilute oxygen concentration and cool pyrolysis zone. Moreover, numerous phosphorus-containing species acting as free radical scavengers were generated during degradation. Silicon dioxide evolving from OapPOSS protected char residues from thermal degradation. This study provides a novel method to fabricate high-performance flame-retardant EP composites, which have potential applications in the field of electrics and electronics.
