The synergistic effect between sili- con, phosphorus and GON improved the flame retardance of epoxy resin. Epoxy composites have excellent flame retardance at low additive concentrations. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: 2-(Diphenylphosphino)ethyltriethoxy silane (DPPES) was grafted onto the surface of graphene oxide Received 8 September 2013 nanosheets (GON
