MWCNTs/EP composite was prepared by ultrasonic dispersion and solution blend method with EP as matrix and MWCNTs-COOH as additive.The effect of MWCNTs content on the flame retardant properties of the EP composite was analyzed.The mass fraction of MWCNTs was 0,0.5%,1.0%,1.5% and 2.0%.Experiment results showed that adding MWCNTs can improve the flame retardant properties of composite.Thermogravimetric analysis showed that when the mass fraction of MWCNTs was 1.5%,the thermal decomposition temperature and burning temperature of composite increased about 7.0% and 30.3%.When the mass fraction of MWCNTs was 2%,the oxygen index of EP composite improved from 19.8 to 21.0.Cone calorimetry analysis showed that when the mass fraction of MWCNTs was 0.5%,the pHRR of composite was the lowest.
