Overview

Experimental study demonstrates enhanced fire resistance and smoke suppression in epoxy resins, suggesting an effective strategy to resolve the trade-off with mechanical performance.

Key Points

To develop an epoxy resin composite that achieves superior flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and thermal conductivity without degrading mechanical properties.
Exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets using green mechanical ball milling.
Constructed a molybdenum phosphide (MoP) catalytic layer and a P–N-containing hydrogen-bonded organic framework (PA-HOF) sequentially in situ on h-BN nanosheets to form a core-shell h-BN@MoP@PA-HOF additive.
Incorporated the composite additive into an epoxy resin matrix at 4 phr and 12 phr loadings to evaluate flame retardancy, smoke release, thermal conductivity, and mechanical performance.
Epoxy resin containing 4 phr additive reduced peak heat release rate by 54.27%, smoke production rate by 48.98%, and total smoke release by 31.59%, with marked decreases in CO and CO2 production and no substantial loss in mechanical properties.
Epoxy resin containing 12 phr additive achieved a UL-94 V-1 rating and exhibited a 36.68% enhancement in thermal conductivity.
