Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid. According to the method, graphite is pulverized into smaller pieces and is then exposed to an atmosphere containing oxygen and water. The method enables the production of graphite functionalized with phosphoric acid groups, which could not be achieved by conventional mechanochemical methods. In addition, the method is carried out in a very simple and economical manner and is suitable for large-scale production.

Claims (3)

1. A water dispersible flame retardant composition comprising edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid, wherein the edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid contains 20 to 50% by weight of phosphorus element, and wherein the edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid has an average diameter of 50 to 1000 nm.

2. A flame retardant coating composition comprising edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid wherein the edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid contains 20 to 50% by weight of phosphorus element, has an average diameter of 50 to 1000 nm, and is dispersible in water.

3. A flame retardant resin composition comprising edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid wherein the edge-functionalized graphite with phosphoric acid contains 20 to 50% by weight of phosphorus element, has an average diameter of 50 to 1000 nm, and is dispersible in water.
