The NCO functional group of 3-isocyanatoproplytriethoxysilane (IPTS) and the OH functional group of 10-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-10H-9-oxa-10-phospha-phenantbrene-10-oxide (DOPO-BQ) were used to conduct an addition reaction. Following completion of the reaction, triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) was introduced to conduct a ring-opening reaction. Subsequently, a sol–gel method was used to initiate a hydrolysis–condensation reaction on TGIC–IPTS–DOPO-BQ to form a hyperbranched nitrogen–phosphorous–silicon (HBNPSi) flame retardant. This flame retardant was incorporated into a polyurethane (PU) matrix to prepare a hybrid material. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), UV-VIS spectrophotometry, and Raman analysis were conducted to characterize the structure and analyze the transparency, thermal stability, flame retardancy, and residual char to understand the flame retardant mechanism of the prepared hybrid material. After the flame retardant was added, the maximum degradation rate decreased from −36 to −17 wt.%/min, the integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT) increased from 348 to 488 °C, and the char yield increased from 0.7 to 8.1 wt.%. The aforementioned results verified that the thermal stability of PU can be improved after adding HBNPSi. The LOI analysis indicated that the pristine PU was flammable because the LOI of pristine PU was only 19. When the content of added HBNPSi was 40%, the LOI value was 26; thus the PU hybrid became nonflammable.

Pd-doped SiO2 organic-inorganic hybrid material (Pd/M-SiO2) was prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by XRD, FTIR spectra and TG/DTG analysis. The most probable kinetic mechanism function, apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the thermal decomposition for Pd/M-SiO2 material were calculated using the combined Coast-Redfern intergral and Αchar differential methods. Pd element in noncalcined Pd/M-SiO2 materials exists in PdCl2 form. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the existence of hydrophobic Si−CH3 groups. The thermal decomposition process of Pd/M-SiO2 materials can be divided into four stages, with different mechanism functions. The activation energies are 76.37, 146.85, 208.90 and 413.89 kJ·mol−1 for the four stages, respectively, and the pre-exponential factors are 5.04×1012, 7.14×1013, 2.93×1012 and 6.56×1019 s−1, respectively. There is no obvious influence of the existence of metallic Pd0 on the thermal decomposition of methyl.
