New generation advanced phosphorus-containing flame retardants designed via machine learning and genetic algorithm

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

New generation advanced phosphorus-containing flame retardants designed via machine learning and genetic algorithm Polymeric materials show advantages of high performance and low cost and have been widely used in modern society. Epoxy resin (EP) as one of the most important polymers, has been widely employed in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries, etc. In Europe, EP market has exceeded 410.60 kilo tons per year. However, the intrinsic flammability of EP makes them potential hazards to human life and property. Due to environmental concerns, incorporating phosphorus-containing flame retardants (P-FRs) into EP has been approved as an efficient approach to improve their fire safety. However, customized target P-FRs design is still hindered due to limited known structures and mechanisms. For example, in EP, two P-FRs with similar chemical structures but different chemical surroundings showed more than 10 times difference in flame-retardant efficiency.
