Abstract: | A novel epoxy resin modifier, phosphorus‐containing epoxide siloxane (DPS) with cyclic phosphorus groups in the Si? O network, was prepared from the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide (DOPO) with polyhedral‐oligomeric siloxanes, which was synthesized by the sol–gel reaction of 3‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane. DPS was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and 29Si NMR measurement, and then was employed to modify epoxy resin at various ratios, with 4,4‐diaminodiphenyl‐methane as a curing agent. In order to make a comparison, DOPO‐containing epoxy resins were also cured under the same conditions. The resulting organic–inorganic hybrid epoxy resins modified with DPS exhibited a high glass transition temperature (Tg), a good thermal stability, and a high limited oxygen index. In addition, the tensile strength of cured products was also rather desirable. POLYM. COMPOS., 2010. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers |
