Abstract:

Two novel phosphate-imine bifunctional flame-retardant compounds (FR:N1,N4-bis{[4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxide-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)oxy]benzylidene}benzene-1,4-diamine(PNB); N1,N2-bis{[4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxide-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)oxy]benzylidene}ethane-1,2-diamine(PNE)) were synthesized via aldehyde amine condensation reaction using 4-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxygen heterocyclic phosphoryl) benzaldehyde (PCHO), p-phenylene diamine and ethylenediamine as raw materials, respectively. FRs were applied on a bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether type epoxy resin (DGEBA) cured by 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) and the flame retarded mechanism was studied. The results showed that the introduction of FR greatly improved the char residues (Rc) of DGEBA/DDS at 700 ℃ and enhanced the flame retardant properties of epoxy resin systems. PNE with ethylene diamine unit presented a better flame retardant performance than PNB with p-phenylene diamine unit. With 1.5% phosphorus content, PNE-1.5/DGEBA/DDS could obtain Rc of 35.1% in nitrogen atmosphere and 14.4 % in air, respectively, and a limiting oxygen index(LOI) value of 33.2%, reaching UL-94 V-0 grade. At the same time, PNE-1.5/DGEBA/DDS maintained the bending strength and more than 76% of the impact strength compared to DGEBA/DDS, which is significantly superior to PNB-1.5/DGEBA/DDS. Analysis of flame retardant results showed that FR presented a comprehensive mechanism of condensed phase, gas phase and phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic effect in DGEBA/DDS system. In conclusion, phosphate-imine bifunctional compounds FR have excellent flame retardancy for epoxy resin systems and have potential applications.
