Mesoporous silica@nano-zinc amino-tris-(methylenephosphonate) (m-SiO2@Zn-AMP) spheres were synthesized via a self-assembly process to integrate the outstanding flame retardancy, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of these materials. The results indicated that nano Zn-AMP particles were successfully deposited on the surface of m-SiO2 through electrostatic interactions. The prepared m-SiO2@Zn-AMP was utilized to improve the flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and mechanical properties of epoxy resin (EP). The storage modulus, impact, and tensile strengths of the EP with 1% m-SiO2@Zn-AMP (sample EP/1m-SiO2@Zn-AMP) were in- Epoxy resin creased by 29.9, 50.0, and 23.5 %, respectively, relative to the values for untreated EP. The presence of multiple flame retardant elements (i.e. Si, P, N, and Zn) in the mesoporous spheres led to the formation of high yields of compact char residues and the release of inert substance during combustion, for high flame retardancy and efficient smoke suppression in the condensed and gaseous phase. The EP/5m-SiO2@Zn-AMP sample achieved a VO rating in a vertical UL-94 test. Compared to untreated EP, the amount of total smoke released and the peak CO production rate of EP/5m-SiO2@Zn-AMP were reduced by 53.1 and 61.5 %, respectively. Additionally, the total heat release and peak heat release rate of EP/5m-SiO2@Zn-AMP were decreased by 45.2 and 57.8 %, respectively.
