Improving the toughness and epoxy resin with brominated flame retardancy of cured castor oil
Data from techniques such as limiting oxygen index, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscope, heat deformation curve, mechanical properties measurement, etc. show that cured epoxy resin modified by brominated castor oil possesses good flame retardation, toughness, moderate smoke suppression, and some degree of resistance to heat.
