Phosphine oxide-containing epoxy resins were prepared from diglycidyl ether of (2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)diphenyl phosphine oxide and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A by crosslinking with 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane. Several (2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)diphenyl phosphine oxide/diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A molar ratios were used to obtain materials with different phosphorus content. The properties of the thermosetting materials were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and limiting oxygen index and related to the phosphorus content. Thermal and thermooxidative degradation was studied by GUMS, P-31 MAS NMR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Limiting oxygen index values indicate good flame retardant properties that are related to the formation of a protective phosphorus-rich layer that slowed down the degradation and prevented it from being total.
