Organofunctional Phosphazenes and Organofunctional Phosphazene Polymers.
Abstract
Recent work has shown that the range of synthesis of new and useful phosphazene derivatives can be dramatically expanded by incorporation of an organo-functional substituent on the phasphazene ring. This substituent can serve as the site for various synthetic transformations leading to new monomeric and polymeric phosphazene moieties. Initial work on propenylphosphazenes and their copolymerization with organic monomers will be briefly discussed. In addition to electron rich olefins such as alkoxylvinylphosphazenes, novel alkynlphosphazene/styrene copolymers have been prepared. The vinyl alcohol derivative, N3P3Cl5OCH=CH2 and related compounds have been prepared and characterized. Both homopolymerization and a broad range of copolymerization reactions of N3P3Cl5OCH=CH2 will be presented. The properties of these sysems can be modified by reactions of the cyclophosphazene units in the polymer. (Author)
