This invention discloses a
nitrogen-
phosphorus flame retardant, a composition and
composite material containing the
flame retardant, its preparation method, and its application. The
flame retardant has a structure as shown in formula (I), where n is an integer from 100 to 150. The preparation method of the flame retardant includes: synthesizing bis(4-formylphenyl) phenylphosphonate and bis(4-aminophenyl)phenylphosphonate, reacting the two to generate a
Schiff base, and then reacting it with 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-
oxide to obtain the
nitrogen-
phosphorus flame retardant PCNPO. This flame retardant, when compounded with
melamine cyanurate (MCA), can be used to prepare flame-retardant nylon 6 composite materials. This invention, through the synergistic effect of PCNPO and MCA, enables nylon 6 to achieve the UL94 V-0 flame retardant standard at a low addition level, while maintaining excellent mechanical properties and
processing stability, and exhibiting strong
charring ability, simple process, and environmental friendliness. (I)
