DOPO (9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide) and its derivatives have been widely used as effective flame retardant. In a study, a DOPO derivate was used as a reactant for the synthesis of a flame retarded alkyd resin. Y. Wang et al., Applied Polymer Science, Vol. 135, Issue 1, January 05, 2018 Flame retardants increase the time to flashover from 5 to 15 minutes which can make the difference between escape and fatalities. A research was carried out to analyse the mechanical properties, drying shrinkage, and the self-healing potential of ...
