Abstract:
The organophosphorus compounds have demonstrated to be good flame retardants for materials with a high content in oxygen, since it is the case of the epoxy resins, beside less toxic gases and smoke generated that the halogen compounds. This way, it has been described as the introduction of phosphine oxides, so much in the chain of epoxy resin as in the curing agent, awards good properties of flame retardant since they act across a mechanism of lump, forming an insulating cap that constitutes a physical and thermal barrier to the combustion. The aims of this work are the synthesis and the crosslinking of new epoxy resins containing phosphorus, and the study of his thermal, mechanical and flame retardant properties.A route of obtaining epoxy resin containing phosphorus is the synthesis of phosphorus containing prepolymers derivatives of IHPO i DGEBA as well as of a new aliphatic diglycidyl, the HEDGE, nevertheless in this case as the HEDGE was reacting with the IHPO forming the prepolymer, at the same time his homopolymerization was taking place. In the same way as in case of the IHPO, the chain of the Fyrol 6 tried to lengthen by means of his reaction with DGEBA or with EPC, but the awaited reaction did not produce to itself what did that there was discarded this route of synthesis of phosphorus containing epoxy resins.An alternative route is the synthesis of phosphorus containing diglycidyl for what the IHPO made be reacted by EPC in basic way. This new diglycidyl experiences reactions of isomerization and decomposition to high temperatures, together with the reaction of thermal homopolymerization, which makes the use of a catalyst necessary in the reaction of treated, already is cationic or anionic.Another way of introducing phosphorus in the epoxy resin is treating di
