Highly thermally conductive flame-retardant epoxy nanocomposites with reduced ignitability and ex...

A highly efficient phenylphosphonate-based flame-retardant epoxy resin (FREP) was firstly prepared from phenylphosphonic dichloride (PPDCl) and allylamine (AA). Functionalized graphite nanoplatelets (fGNPs) fillers were then performed to fabricate the fGNPs/FREP nanocomposites via mixing followed by casting method. The thermally conductive coefficient (λ), thermal diffusivity (α), flame retardancy, electrical conductivities and thermal stabilities of the fGNPs/FREP nanocomposites were all enh...
