The invention discloses branching, cross-linking, expanded, melt-dropping-resistant and 
flame-retardant 
copolyester based on a 
triazine ring structure. The 
copolyester is prepared by conducting random copolymerization on structure units expressed as formulae I, II and III or structure units expressed as formulae I, II, III and IV according to a conventional method. The 
intrinsic viscosity [eta] of the prepared branching, cross-linking, expanded, melt-dropping-resistant and 
flame-retardant 
copolyester is 0.41-1.10 dL / g; the extreme 
oxygen index is 24.5-38.0%; the vertical 
combustion grade is between V-2 and V-0; the peak heat release rate p-HRR in a cone heat test is 247-643 kW / m<2>. According to the copolyester, a modified 
monomer of the 
triazine ring structure is introduced, and then copolymerized with 
polyester to form a unique ternary branched cross-linking 
network structure; the modified 
monomer of the 
triazine ring structure contains the 
flame-retardant element 
nitrogen, so that the 
melt viscosity of the copolyester in 
combustion can be improved; the copolyester is capable of releasing 
nitrogen and quickly forming an expanded 
char layer with excellent heat and 
oxygen insulation effects; especially, a 
phosphorus-
nitrogen synergism effect can be generated when the copolyester is used together with the conventional 
phosphorus-containing flame-retardant agent; the flame-retardant performance and the melt-dropping-resistant effects can be more excellent; the selected 
monomer is low in price; the preparation process is mature; the operation is simple and convenient; the industrialized large-scale production is liable to implement.
