Abstract This paper deals with the thermal decomposition behaviour of a new fire retardant 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO)-containing aliphatic-aromatic polyester and its nanocomposites with natural layered silicate (montmorillonite) under inert atmosphere studied by TGA-FTIR, Pyrolysis-GC/MS of volatile products and ATR-FTIR of non-volatile decomposition products. The phosphorus-containing polyester undergoes decomposition in two steps between 340 – 516 °C. The first step is associated with the release of carbon dioxide, acetaldehyde, ethene, acid-containing products (mainly benzoic acid) resulting in the formation of polyarylates followed by their decomposition in the second step with the evolution of carbon dioxide. DOPO-containing products, esters (mainly diethenyl terephthalate), carbon monoxide, acids and water are released through both stages. At the end of decomposition polyaromatic structures, diarylketones and organophosphorus esters built<br />into the chemical structure of the char develop in the solid residue. The modification of the polyester with a layered silicate does not change the composition of the pyrolysis products, only their yield, and tended to diminish the charring of the polymer. A thermal decomposition scheme of the P-polyester is proposed and the mass spectra of some DOPO-containing products are discussed.
