Abstract

Abstract: Research of UV curing flame retardant technologies in Professor Wenfang Shi's group in the past decade was reviewed in this article. Reactive momomers, diluents and formulations of UV-curable resins were applied in these works. All of them were categorized as phosphate, phosphorus-containing acrylate, hyperbranched acrylate, phosphonate, acrylated cyclophosphazene, methacrylated phenolic melamine and phosphorus-containing epoxy monomer. Syntheses, properties and applications of these formulations were described. Thermal degradation, evaluation and mechanism of flame retardancy were also introduced.

Key words: UV-curing, flame retardance, phosphate, phosphorus-containing acrylate, phosphonate, hyperbranched
