A tannic acid-based intumescent flame retardant for improving flame retardancy of epoxy composites by Xiaosui Chen, Yaoting Ma, Shuzheng Liu, Aiqing Zhang, Wei Liu, Shengchao Huang

“…Analyses from the condensed char and pyrolysis gases indicated that the improved flame retardancy was mainly attributed to the cooperation of the free-radical quenching effect of P-containing radicals and phenoxy radicals working in stages (derived from DOPO and TA respectively) and the physical barrier effect caused by the highly graphited, intumescent and porous char layer (reinforced by P- and Si-containing cross-linked structures). …”
