Development and characterization of a fire retardant epoxy resin using an organo-phosphorus compound

The development and characterization of a fire retardant epoxy resin was studied by using an organo-phosphorous compounds. The thermal and flame retardant properties of the samples were investigated by using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimetry technique. The results demonstrated the improved efficiency of epoxy resins by the incorporation of organo-phosphorous compounds.
