Abstract:A silicon-containing phosphonitrile flame retardant (SCP-DOPO) was synthesized from hexachlorotrisphosphonitrile, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, p-aminobenzoic acid, 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphame-10-oxide (DOPO) and triphenylsilanol. The structures were characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR and 31PNMR, and the effects of SCP-DOPO dosage on the bond performance, thermal stability and flame retardancy of epoxy resin were also investigated. The results showed that the peel strength of the modified epoxy resin was 3.06 kN/m and 2.64 kN/m, respectively, when the dosage of SCP-DOPO was 4% and 8%, which was superior to that of the pure epoxy resin. When the addition of SCP-DOPO was 8% and 12%, the degree of graphitization of the modified epoxy resin corresponding to the residual carbon was increased, and the vertical combustion (UL-94) test was V-0 grade, and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) reached 31.1% and 31.6%, respectively. The Raman test results further showed that it has good charring properties, so the modified epoxy resin has excellent flame retardant properties.
