Organic-inorganic hybrid materials have received widespread attention because they combine the excellent characteristics of organic polymers and inorganic materials. In this work, a nanohybrid flame retardant PZS@PDA@Ni(OH)₂ with strawberry-like architecture is prepared via the coating of biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) on polyphosphazene microspheres (PZS), followed by the self-assembly of Ni(OH)₂. The effects of PZS@PDA@Ni(OH)₂ on combustion behavior and smoke release of epoxy resin (EP) are characterized by cone calorimetry test (CCT), Thermogravimetric analysis-infrared spectrometry (TG-IR) and Raman tests. The results show that EP composites with 5 wt% PZS@PDA@Ni(OH)₂ give rise to 69.8% reduction in peak heat release rate (pk-HRR) and possess the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 31.8%, achieving UL-94 V-0 rating. Besides, owing to the synergistic effect of phosphorus-nitrogen and catalytic charring effect of Ni(OH)₂ nanoparticles, the char residual of EP composites exhibits compact and dense structure, which is responsible for the remarkable flame retardancy. Meanwhile, Ni(OH)₂ nanoparticles play a catalytic role in conversion of flammable gases, and the carbon monoxide production (COP) of EP composites with 5 wt% PZS@PDA@Ni(OH)₂ is reduced by 58.3%. As a highly efficient flame retardant, PZS@PDA@Ni(OH)₂ has promising potential in reducing the fire hazards of EP composites.
