Popis: To enhance the fire safety of epoxy resins (EP) without affecting other properties, a novel organophosphorus compound named DDPPM has been synthesized and used as co-curing agent to obtain inherent flame-retardant EP. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) proven the successful synthesis of DDPPM. The mechanical results demonstrated that the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin did not deteriorate after adding DDPPM, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shown that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of EP/DDPPM was maintained. Importantly, the EP/DDPPM presented satisfying flame-retardant efficiency in limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning tests. Incorporating 2 wt% DDPPM, the EP achieved the UL 94 V-0 rating and the LOI value was 31%. Meanwhile, the cone calorimeter (CC) test verified that DDPPM contributed to the reduction of heat and smoke release accompanied by increasing char yield. The thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR), pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and char analysis certified the flame inhibition and charring effect of DDPPM in EP.
