Abstract

A novel microencapsulated red phosphorus (RP) was prepared through the molecular self-assembly of melamine cyanurate (MCA). Compared with the conventional encapsulated RP, MCA-encapsulated RP (MERP) shows simpler and more environment-friendly preparation process higher thermal stability and lower moisture absorption. With MERP filled in unreinforced polyamide 66 (PA66) and glass fiber (GF) reinforced PA66, flame retardant materials with satisfactory flame retardancy and mechanical performance can be obtained. The influence of the MCA/RP ratio on the flame retardancy as well as the condensed phase of MERP flame retardant PA66 was investigated to reveal the nitrogen-phosphorus (N-P) synergistic flame retarding effects between MCA and RP.
