Findings

The composition
of halogen-free
flame-retardant
which consisted
of DOPO based
glycidyl ether of
cresol
formaldehyde
novolac and
Diglycidyl ether
of bisphenol,
micronized
dicyandiamide,
and accelerator
U-52.

The UL 94
vertical burning
classification
test was
accomplished
using a burning
chamber
according to
ANSI/UL-941985 with the
cured epoxy
specimen

A novel bridgedcyclotriphosphaz
ene flame
retardant BPABPP was
successfully
synthesized by
nucleophilic
substitution
reaction of
hexachlorocyclotriphosphaz
ene, bisphenol-A
and aniline. BPA
BPP was then
mixed with
DGEBA and DDM
to fabricate the

H NMR, P NMR,
FTIR, DSC, TGA,
Cone
Calorimeter,
PyGC/MS

The epoxy
resin of the
optimum
formula
contained 1.5
wt% of
phosphorus
and achieved
UL-94 V-0
grade and LOI
of 32% with
tensile
strength of 48
MPa and
impact
strength of
14.5kJ/m2.
EP/BPA-BPP
exhibited
excellent flame
retardancy via
LOI, UL-94 and
MCC tests.
From cone
calorimetric
test, PHRR and
THR values of
EP/9%BPA-BPP
were greatly
decreased;
better fire
safety and
smoke
suppression
were also

flame retardant
epoxy resins.
