Flame Retardant Monomers and Polymers
Todd S. Emrick, Ph.D.
- Flame retardant monomers
- Flame retardant polymers
- Flame retardant composite materials
- Halogen-free
- Intrinsically fire-resistant
- Containing functional handles for further functionalization
This invention provides new flame retardant monomers and polymers made using such and other monomers. The new flame retardant monomers can reduce polymer flammability due to char formation. Upon the incorporation of such monomers into the polymer structure, their additional functional groups or handles impart reactivity to the polymer, enabling the formation of new functional polymeric and composite materials.
