%X The thermal stabilities of epoxy resin/diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate (EP/DBAMP) systems were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under non-isothermal conditions in nitrogen atmosphere. Kissinger and Flynn¨CWall¨COzawa methods were used to study the thermal degradation process. The results showed a remarkable increase of activation energy (E) in the presence of DBAMP, which indicated that the addition of DBAMP retarded the thermal degradation of EP. The Flynn¨CWall¨COzawa analysis further revealed that DBAMP significantly increased the activation energy in the early stage of EP¡¯s thermal degradation, demonstrating that DBAMP had improved the initial thermal stability and modified the flame retardancy of EP in the thermal degradation process
