Research Progress of Flame Retardant Epoxy Resin Composites
The combustion process and flame retardant mechanisms of epoxy polymers(EP)were introduced,and the research progress in flame retardants for EP was reviewed.The focus was placed on elucidating the influence of halogen-based,phosphorus-based,nitrogen-based,silicon-based,boron-based,nano-based and bio-based flame retardants,as well as synergistic flame retardants,on the flame retardancy of EP composites.Furthermore,the future development trends of flame retardant EP composites were prospected.
