Abstract: Phosphorous-containing flame retardant additive for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), hexa(phenylamino)cyclotriphosphazene (HPACP) was synthesized by substitution reaction of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) with aniline. The melting temperature of HPACP are 279.2°C, and HPACP possesses of favorable thermal stability. Flame-retardant effect of HPACP on PET was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Limit Oxygen Index (LOI) methods. With the content of flame retardant HPACP increasing, the melting enthalpy of PET reduced, while the melting temperature and onset temperature showed a decreasing tendency. With the weakening of melt dripping phenomenon, LOI of PET/ HPACP flame retardant systems increases with the increase of content of HPACP. LOI of PET containing 10 wt% of HPACP is 28.3.

Abstract: Two kinds of imide dicarboxylic acid monomers, 4,4'-bis(trimellitimido) diphenyl ether Ⅰ and p-trimellitimido-benzoic acid Ⅱ were successfully synthesized from 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and p-aminobenzoic acid with trimellitic anhydride respectively.and used to synthesize a series of new aromatic poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) by the tri-phenyl phosphite-activated polycondensation method. The preparation of PAIs was carried out using triphenyl phosphate and pyridine symtem. The PAIs had inherent viscosities of 0.55–1.46 dL g-1. PAI films were obtained by casting their N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solution. Their cast films had tensile strengths ranging from 37.4 to 83.9 MPa. The glass-transition temperatures (measured by differential scanning calorimetry) were in the range of 265-310°C. According to thermogravimetric analysis, the polymers were fairly stable up to temperature around 420°C, and 10% weight losses in the temperature range of 474-550°C in nitrogen, that showed good thermal stabilities of these polymers.
