The invention relates to the use of polyphosphonates, copoly(phosphonate ester)s, copoly(phosphonate carbonate)s, and their respective oligomers, as flame retardant additives for polyester fibers to impart fire resistance while maintaining or improving processing characteristics for melt spinning fibers.

Phosphonate polymers, copolymers, and their respective oligomers as flame retardants for polyester fibers

Embodiments described herein are directed to oligomeric phosphonates and polyphosphonates that have non-reactive end groups, methods for making such oligomeric phosphonates and polyphosphonates, and compositions containing such oligomeric phosphonates and polyphosphonates. The oligomeric phosphonates and polyphosphonates of such embodiments may be incorporated into engineering polymeric into which they are mixed to make polymer compositions having good flame retardancy and mechanical properties.

Curing of epoxy resins with phosphonate oligomers

Epoxy resin compositions that include oligomeric phosphonates, carbodiimides, carbodiimides and phenolic antioxidants or phosphite antioxidants, oligomeric phosphonates and carbodiimides, or oligomeric phosphonates, carbodiimides, and phenolic antioxidants or phosphite antioxidants and exhibit improved glass transition temperature, improved heat resistance, and improved flame retardancy are described herein.

Epoxy compositions

Predominately amino terminated phosphonamide oligomers and their use as flame retardant additives in polyamides and copolyamides without detracting from melt processability are described herein. Other important properties such as strength, modulus, dyeing and thermal stability are maintained.

Flame retardant polyamide compositions

The invention relates to the use of amino terminated phosphonamides and their oligomers, as flame retardant additives for a variety of polymers to impart flame retardancy while maintaining or improving processing characteristics and other important properties.

Amino terminated phosphonamide oligomers and flame retardant compositions therefrom

Polyester co-polyphosphonates including of phosphonates covalently incorporated with polyesters and methods for making such polyester co-polyphosphonates are described herein. The polyester co-phosphonates and compositions prepared from these compounds exhibit an excellent combination of processing characteristics, mechanical and fire resistant properties.

Polyester co-phosphonates

Sensors for the detection of free radicals and free radical forming compounds including, for example, peroxides, as well as energetic radiation, UV light, plasma or heat each such sensor including a functional component are described herein. In addition, this disclosure includes methods for making such sensors and methods for using sensors including a functional component and devices incorporating such sensors.

Detection of peroxide radicals and reaction initiators

Disclosed are oligomeric phosphonates including oligophosphonates, random or block co-oligo(phosphonate ester)s and co-oligo(phosphonate carbonate)s produced using a condensation process terminated with hydroxyl, epoxy, vinyl, vinyl ester, isopropenyl, isocyanate groups, and the like. These materials can be used as a reactive additive to other polymers, oligomers or monomer mixtures to impart flame resistance without diminishing melt processability which is important in the fabrication of polymers for many applications.

Oligomeric phosphonates and compositions including the same

Disclosed are random copoly(phosphonate carbonate)s with the high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution exhibiting a superior combination of properties compared to prior art.

High molecular weight, random, bisphenol based copoly(phosphonate carbonate)s

Disclosed are oligomeric phosphonates, and in particular, hyperbranched oligophosphonates, that include oligophosphonates, random or block co-oligo(phosphonate ester)s and co-oligo(phosphonate carbonate)s produced using a condensation process terminated with hydroxyl, epoxy, vinyl, vinyl ester, isopropenyl, isocyanate groups, and the like. These materials can be used as a reactive additive to other polymers, oligomers or monomer mixtures to impart flame resistance without diminishing melt processability which is important in the fabrication of polymers for many applications.

Hyperbranched oligomeric phosphonates and compositions including the same

The present invention describes compositions and methods for trapping/capturing and/or destroying dangerous substances such as chemical and biological warfare agents. The present invention relates to dendritic polymers, specifically, to quaternary ammonium functionalized dendritic polymers and N-Halamine functionalized dendritic polymers. Such dendrimers are useful for the capture and neutralization of biological and chemical warfare agents.
