The mixture was mechanically stirred, and the flask was placed in an ice-water bath at 0 °C. Then, 21.3 g of diphenylphosphine chloride (DPPC) was weighed and dissolved in 60 ml of dichloromethane solution. The solution was slowly added dropwise to the three-necked flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was filtered through a Buchner funnel, and the dichloromethane was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain a pale yellow, transparent, viscous substance, which was the reaction product DPTEPA.

[0032] Step 2: As Figure 3 As shown, a certain amount (total weight 16g) of DPTEPA and AEOS was dissolved in 30ml of a 1:1 mixture of ethanol and acetonitrile to prepare DPTEPA. x -AEOS1 coating solution, where x represents the ratio of the number of active H atoms in DPTEPA to the number of epoxy groups in AEOS, x = 0.5-1.5, which is the transparent flame-retardant coating compound of the present invention. The resulting pale yellow transparent solution is dropped onto untreated PC sheets, ensuring a dry weight of 400 g / m². 2 The coatings were cured at 60°C for 4 hours and then at 80°C for 24 hours in a constant-temperature drying oven. Following this method, five hybrid coatings with different proportions were prepared; detailed formulations are shown in Table 1.

[0033] The ladder-shaped epoxy polysiloxane (AEOS) is prepared by the following method:

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, 30 g of deionized water and 0.25 g of anhydrous K₂CO₃ were weighed and added to a 500 ml three-necked round-bottom flask, and stirred magnetically for 10 min. Then, 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was poured into the mixture and stirred magnetically for 20 min. 118 g of γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (KH560) was added dropwise under a N₂ atmosphere, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 48 hours. THF was then removed by rotary evaporation to obtain a transparent, viscous substance. This substance was diluted with dichloromethane solution, dried over anhydrous MgSO₄ for 12 hours, and filtered through a Buchner funnel to remove MgSO₄, yielding a transparent, viscous, ladder-shaped epoxy polysiloxane (AEOS).

[0049]

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown in Figure a, the infrared spectrum of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is at 3363 cm⁻¹. -1 and 3280cm -1 The characteristic doublet of -NH2 appeared at 3214 cm⁻¹, while the doublet disappeared in the synthetic product DPTEPA. -1 The -NH characteristic peak appears at [location], combined with [other factors]. Figure 5 The NMR spectrum in bc confirms the successful synthesis of DPTEPA. Figure 5 As shown in d, AEOS is at 908cm -1 The coatings exhibit infrared characteristic absorption peaks at 3412 cm⁻¹, with five different formulations showing peaks at this location. -1 A broad hydroxyl absorption peak appeared at 908 cm⁻¹, and the epoxy group showed a peak at 908 cm⁻¹. -1 The disappearance of the characteristic peak at this point indicates that AEOS and DPTEPA underwent ring-opening polymerization. For example... Figure 5 As shown in e, AEOS 29 The Si NMR spectrum exhibits a broad peak between -65 and -70 ppm, corresponding to T 3 The [R-Si(OSi)3] peak confirms the successful synthesis of AEOS. Figure 5 As shown in f, DPTEPA is applied. 1.25 - The PC substrate with the AEOS1 coating has a smooth surface and uniform distribution of C, N, O, Si, and P elements.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown in ab, the coating surface is slightly yellowed, and within the wavelength range of 400-600nm, the transmittance decreases with increasing DPTEPA content. Figure 6 cd and as shown in Table 2, DPTEPA was applied. 1.25- The AEOS1 coating has an adhesion rating of 3B and a hydrophobic angle of 87.938°.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown in ab, with the increase of DPTEPA content, the pyrolysis phenomenon occurs earlier, indicating that the coating can react faster to produce a dense carbon layer when exposed to flame erosion, protecting the internal substrate from erosion. Correspondingly, the decrease in Si content will lead to a decrease in the residual carbon rate.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, in the initial stage of combustion, the coating rapidly carbonizes into a dense char layer, blocking the erosion of the PC substrate by heat radiation, thus enabling the coating of DPTEPA to withstand the erosion. 1.25 - The PHRR value of PC sheets with AEOS1 coating was reduced by 43.59%.

[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, the density of the carbon layer is improved with the increase of DPTEPA content.

[0055] like Figure 10 As shown in a, it is DPTEPA 1.25 -The FTIR spectrum of the AEOS1 coating during pyrolysis shows the appearance of PO (949 cm⁻¹) at around 370℃. -1 Characteristic peaks appeared after 350℃, with NH (912 cm⁻¹) appearing. -1 ) and PNH (3015cm -1 Characteristic peaks. These phosphorylated fragments can be converted into PO· radicals, which can capture H· and HO· radicals during combustion, thereby terminating the combustion reaction. The presence of NH groups indicates the generation of NH3 and its derivatives, which dilute combustible gases during combustion. Based on the radical-capturing effect and the dilution effect on combustible gases, DPTEPA... 1.25 - The AEOS1 coating provides vapor-phase flame retardancy. For example... Figure 10 As shown in b, the FTIR spectrum analysis of the residual char indicates that the DPTEPA-AEOS coating composite can produce a char layer containing P and Si-O-Si structures. This char layer can block heat exchange between the external environment and the internal matrix, thus playing a role in condensed phase flame retardancy. Figure 10 As shown in c, DPTEPA 1.25 - The AEOS1 solution was poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene mold and cured into a sample for vertical burning test. The coated sample self-extinguished when removed from the open flame, and the flame retardant rating can reach V-0.
