A green self-assembled organic supermolecule as an effective flame retardant for epoxy resin.

ABSTRACT: Toxicity and environmental issues have elicited research attention regarding the need to prepare a green flame retardant with high flame retardancy. Here, a supermolecular self-assembly technology was used to prepare nickel phytate as shell materials aggregated on aminated silica nanotemplates through electrostatic interactions as a green novel flame retardant (Ni@SiO₂-PA). After incorporating the obtained core-shell structured Ni@SiO₂-PA into epoxy resin (EP), the supermolecular shell effectively enhanced the adhesive property between the nanoparticles and the EP matrix. The thermal stability was improved, and the peak heat release rate decreased significantly after introducing the well-characterized Ni@SiO₂-PA. The absorbance intensity of the toxic aromat
