AB  - Cuprous oxide (Cu(2)O) as an effective catalyst has been applied to enhance the 
      fire safety of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR), but the particle size influence 
      on combustion behaviors has not been previously reported. Herein, the UPR/Cu(2)O 
      composites (metal oxide particles with average particle-size of 10, 100, and 
      200nm) were successfully synthesized by thermosetting process. The effects of 
      Cu(2)O with different sizes on thermostability and combustion behaviors of UPR 
      were characterized by TGA, MCC, TG-IR, FTIR, and SSTF. The results revel that the 
      addition of Cu(2)O contributes to sufficient decomposition of oxygen-containing 
      compounds, which is beneficial to the release of nontoxic compounds. The 
      smallest-sized Cu(2)O performs the excellent catalytic decomposition effect and 
      promotes the complete combustion of UPR, which benefits the enhancement of fire 
      safety. While the other additives retard pyrolysis process and yield more char 
      residue, and thus the flame retardancy of UPR composites was improved. Therefore, 
      catalysis plays a major role for smaller-sized particles during thermal 
      decomposition of matrix, while flame retarded effect became gradual distinctly 
      for the larger-sized additives.
