Semi–interpenetrating networks based on epoxy resin and oligophosphonate: Comparative effect of three hardeners on the thermal and fire properties

Traditional materials are being constantly replaced by synthetic polymers, most of which are highly flammable. Epoxy resins are versatile and among the most important class of polymers, due to their multiple crosslinking capacity endowed by the oxirane ring, their applications ranging from adhesives...
