Abstract:

A series of cured epoxy resin thermosets were prepared by co-curing of lignin, phthalic anhydride (PA), epoxy resin (EP) and 2-(diphenylphosphoryl) succinic acid (DPPOSA). The epoxy resin thermosets were studied and analyzed by limiting oxygen index(LOI), vertical burning test, cone calorimeter test(CONE), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The thermal stability and flame retardancy of epoxy resin thermosets(P-12) were significantly improved when the EP content was 90.0%, the PA content was 6.5%, the DPPOSA content was 2.0%, and the lignin content was 1.5%. The flame retardant performance test showed that its LOI reached 34.6%, and the vertical burning test passed UL-94 V-0 level, and the heat release rate and total heat release were also effectively reduced. The results of TGA tests showed that DPPOSA and lignin could advance the degradation time and enhance char-forming ability. The results of SEM revealed that the epoxy resin thermosets formed a continuous, uniform and tight carbon layer, and it was further proved that the char-forming ability of epoxy cured thermosets were improved with the addition of lignin and DPPOSA.

Key words: epoxy resin thermosets, lignin, phosphorus-containing flame retardant
