TY - JOUR AU - Shang, Hongzhou AB - A series of polymeric flame retardants (PFRs) containing phosphorus‐nitrogen‐bromide were synthesized from spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphorate disphosphoryl chloride (SPDPC), 2‐methoxyl‐4,6‐dichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine (MDCT), and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The influence of monomer ratio on their thermal stability was investigated by adjusting the proportion of SPDPC/MDCT (mol/mol) from 80/20 to 20/80. The flammability properties of the PFRs blended with ABS were evaluated using LOI and UL‐94 vertical test. The structures of the flame retardants were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐NMR). The results show that the initial temperature of decomposition is 274°C and with 35% charring residue at 500°C when the ratio of SPDPC/MDCT is 50/50. V‐0 ratings in the UL‐94 vertical test were achieved at 20–30% loading of PFRs, when LOI values reached at least 26.9%. The flame retardancy is strongly dependent on the ratio of P, N, and Br. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
