Abstract: In order to develop single molecule flame retardant to improve flame retardancy of EP, phosphate diacid chloride (SPDPC) was prepared by using pentaerythritol (PER) and phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3). Then different amounts of SPDPC was applied to modify β-CD. Finally, EP/mβ-CD composite was made by adding modified β-CD (mβ-CD) into EP (amount of addition was 25% based on EP quality). The results show that the mβ-CD prepared with 1∶8 molar ratio of β-CD to SPDPC has good compatibility in EP matrix, and it increases amount of char residue of EP in nitrogen atmosphere to 26.7% from 15.3%. EP oxygen index also rises from 19.5% to 28.2%. Vertical combustion of EP/mβ-CD composite reaches V-0 level, and its total heat release (THR) and peak of heat release rate (PHRR) are reduced by 50.4% and 47.9% respectively comparing to pure EP while peak of smoke production rate (PSPR) and total smoke production (TSP) reduced by 12.5% and 52.8%. Moreover, such composite with above mβ-CD could form a stronger char layer.
