The synergistic charring, flame-retardant behavior of the macromolecular charring agents polyimide (PI) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP) were studied in glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66). This kind of synergistic charring effect is explained by the fact that PI performed better char-forming ability while working with phosphorus content. The research results showed that, compared with the incorporation of individual MPP, MPP/PI with an appropriate ratio exhibited better flame retardancy and better charring ability. A blend of 11.9%MPP/5.1%PI/PA66 possessed an increased LOI (limiting oxygen index) value of 33.9% and passed the UL94 V-0 rating, obtained a lower peak heat release rate value (pk-HRR), a lower total heat release (THR) value, a lower total smoke release (TSR) value, and a higher residue yield. The results verified the synergistic flame-retardant effect between MPP and PI in the PA66 composite. Melamine polyphosphate and PI jointly interacted with PA66 matrix and locked more carbonaceous compositions in residue and formed a more compact char layer, resulting in a reduced burning intensity and a reduction in the release of fuels. Therefore, the enhanced flame-retardant effect of the MPP/PI system is attributed to the higher charring ability and stronger barrier effect of the char layer in PA66 in the condensed phase.
