Abstract
A P/N-containing flame retardant, DOPOBH, was synthesized with salicylaldehyde, p-aminophenol, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphophenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and formaldehyde. The performance of DOPOBH in flame retardant modification of 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone(DDS)/diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA, E−44) system was studied in terms of limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning testing (UL-94) and cone calorimeter test (CCT). When the phosphorus content was 1.5 wt% of the whole system, DOPOBH modified epoxy resin (EP/P1.5) exhibited excellent flame retardancy (achieving a UL-94 V-0 rating and the LOI value of 35.2 %). Compared with pure EP, a 54.3 % decrease of peak heat release rate (PHRR) and ca. 5 times of residue (with an intumescent structure) was obtained with EP/P1.5 in CCT. Based on the results of CCT, scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermogravimetry-infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR), DOPOBH was verified to play important roles in both gas phase and solid phase. In addition, the addition of DOPOBH could improve the dielectric properties of epoxy resin and provide new strategies for high-performance applications in electronic packaging.
