Abstract:

A novel bio-based flame retardant(Furan-2DOPO) was synthesized from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfuramine, phosphorus oxychloride and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO). Its structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton- and phosphorus-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A series of cured flame retarded epoxy products was obtained by modification of epoxy resin with Furan-2DOPO. The effects of the loading of Furan-2DOPO on the mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardant properties of the cured epoxy products were investigated. The results showed that when the addition amount of Furan-2DOPO was only 5%(mass fraction, phosphorus mass fraction was 0.47%), the oxygen index of the cured epoxy product reached 31.0%, and can pass the UL-94 V-0 test; compared with the unmodified epoxy resin, the peak heat release rate of the cured epoxy products containing 2.5%(mass fraction) and 5%(mass fraction) Furan-2DOPO was decreased by 31% and 35%, respectively. In addition, the tensile strength of the cured epoxy products containing 2.5% and 5% Furan-2DOPO was about 28% higher than that of the unmodified epoxy resin, respectively. The results of char analysis indicated that Furan-2DOPO possessed excellent catalytic charring performance, which was conducive to reducing the escape of combustible gases during combustion, so as to improve the flame retardant performance.
