respect to pure epoxy due to its function as a plasticizer. The flammability of the
phosphorus FR was also improved and detected by doing pyrolysis combustion flow
calorimetry (PCFC). The combination of itaconic acid (IA) and DOPO has also
been examined in the development of FR bio-epoxy (Ma et al. 2014). Different
authors have also revealed that the formation of residue in the condensed phase and
the generation of free radicals in the gas phase are characteristics of silicone-based
epoxy systems (Kausar et al. 2016; Wang et al. 2000; Franchini et al. 2009). For
