A series of polyurethane (PU) microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MCAPP) were prepared by in situ polymerization from toluene‐2,4‐diisocyanate (TDI), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and pentaerythtritol (PER). And the structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then it chose the optimal PEG constituent to design microcapsule from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water solubility test. The combustion and thermal degradation behaviors of PU blended APP or MCAPP were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UL‐94 test, and microcombustion calorimetry. The results showed that the PU/MCAPP had better thermal stability and flame retardance, due to the stable char forming by APP and PU shell. Moreover, the water resistance of flame retarded PU composite was greatly improved.
