摘要

The pyrolysis and fire behaviour of epoxy resin (EP) composites based on a novel polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane containing 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10- phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO-POSS) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) have been investigated. The pre-reaction between the hydroxyl groups of DOPO-POSS and the epoxy groups of DGEBA at 140 °C is confirmed by FTIR, which means that DOPO-POSS molecules of hydroxyl group could easily disperse into the epoxy resin at the molecular level. The EP composites with the DOPO-POSS were prepared through a curing agent, m-phenylenediamine (m-PDA). The morphologies of the EP composites observed by SEM indicate that DOPO-POSS disperses with nano-scale particles in the EP networks, which implies good compatibility between them. The thermal properties and pyrolysis of the EP composites were analyzed by DSC and TGA, TGA-FTIR, and TGA-MS. The analysis indicates that the DOPO-POSS change the decomposition pathways of the epoxy resin and increase its residue at high temperature; moreover, the release of phosphorous products in the gas phase and the existence of Si-O and P-O structures in the residue Is noted. The fire behaviour of the EP composites was evaluated by cone calorimeter (CONE). The CONE tests show that incorporation of DOPO-POSS into epoxy resin can significantly improve the flame retardancy of EP composites. SEM and XPS were used to explore micro-structures and chemical components of the char from CONE tests of the EP composites, they support the view that DOPO-POSS makes the char strong with the involvement of Si-O and P-O structures.
