The invention relates to a phosphorus-nitrogen-silicon intumescent flame retardant containing a triazine ring and a cage structure and a synthesis method of the intumescent flame retardant. The synthesis method comprises the steps as follows: a solvent is added to a container, phosphorus oxychloride is added and stirred to be dispersed, PEPA (1-oxy phospha-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) and an acid-binding agent are dropwise added step by step, and a PEPA-containing unitary substituent is obtained; substances with diamine or dihydric alcohol are added to the other container and mixed with the solvent and the acid-binding agent, the PEPA-containing unitary substituent is slowly dropwise added, and a phosphorous-containing diamine intermediate is obtained after separation; the solvent is added to a container provided with a reflux condenser and the like, cyanuric chloride is added and stirred to be dispersed, an amino silane coupling agent and the acid-binding agent are dropwise added step by step, and a silicon-containing unitary substituent is obtained; the mixture of the phosphorous-containing diamine intermediate and the acid-binding agent is slowly dropwise added, cooling, washing and drying are performed, and a powdery solid, namely, the phosphorus-nitrogen-silicon intumescent flame retardant containing the triazine ring and the cage structure, is obtained. The phosphorus-nitrogen-silicon intumescent flame retardant has the advantages that the flame retardant has certain polymerization degree, high molecular weight, higher charcoal forming amount and better thermal stability, the proportion of acid sources, carbon sources and gas sources in molecular structures is relatively proper and the like.
