Improving flame retardancy of in-situ silica-epoxy nanocomposites cured with aliphatic hardener: Combined effect of DOPO-based flame-retardant and melamine

Silica-epoxy nanocomposites were prepared via an “in-situ” sol-gel synthesis process and a phosphorus (P) flame-retardant i.e. 6H-dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphorin,6-[(1-oxido-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-4-yl)methoxy]-, 6-oxide (DP) and melamine (Mel) were further added to the matrix to impr...
