Abstract: Adding phosphorus-containing POSS (DMPOSS) with the dosage of 5wt%, 10wt% and 15wt% to vinyl ester resin, the effects of phosphorus-containing POSS addition on the thermodynamic properties, flame resistance, and microstructure of vinyl resins were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG), limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The DSC results show that the addition of DMPOSS can significantly increase the glass transition temperature, the LOI results show that the oxygen index of vinyl ester resin increase with the increase of DMPOSS content. The cone calorimeter results show that the addition of DMPOSS can effectively reduce the heat release of vinyl ester resin. When adding 15wt% DMPOSS, the peak heat release rate of vinyl ester resin decreased by 44.9%, while the total heat release decreased by 30.4%.
