The intrinsic flame retardant mechanism of bio?based epoxy resin containing pyridazinone structure was explored through resin ablation experiment, scanning electron microscope,X?ray photoelectron spectrometer,thermogravimetry?infrared simultaneous thermal analyzer,and other characterization methods.The results show that compared with the most commonly used petroleum?based bisphenol A epoxy resin, the resultant bio?based epoxy resin is more likely to form a large amount of intumescent carbon layer structure during combustion and release a large amount of non?combustible gases such as CO₂ and NH₃ with less combustible gases.The intrinsic flame retardant bio?based epoxy resin containing pyridazinone structure exhibits a condensed phase?gas phase synergistic flame retardant mechanism. This study provides new ideas for constructing high?performance intrinsic flame retardant epoxy resin.
