Cover Story: The incorporation of additive and reactive phosphorus fire retardants in matrices from co-cured blends of an unsaturated polyester (UP) with inherently fire-retardant phenolic resoles (PH) of varying compatibilities has shown reduced flammability of resultant glass fiber-reinforced composites. All fire retardants reduced the mechanical properties, and the reduction was more severe in composites from the least compatible than in the most compatible blends. Among different composites, those from most compatible (UP and allyl-functionalised PH resin) with a reactive fire retardant (9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, DOPO) showed the best fire retardancy with little deterioration of mechanical performance.
