  • Permanent Flame Retardant Finishing of Textiles by the Photochemical Immobilization of Polyphosphazenes
    Permanent Flame Retardant Finishing of Textiles by the Photochemical Immobilization of Polyphosphazenes Opwis K. 1, *, Mayer-Gall T. 1,2 , Gutmann J.S. 1,2 1 Deutsches Textilforschungszentrum Nord-West gGmbH, Adlerstr. 1, Krefeld, Germany 2 University Duisburg-Essen, Universitätsstr. 5, D-45117 Essen, Germany *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT UV-based grafting processes are appropriate tools to improve the surface properties of textile materials without changing the bulk. Based on our previous investigations on the photochemical immobilization of vinyl phosphonic acid, here, a new photochemical method for a permanent flame retardant finishing of textiles is described using allyl-modified linear polyphosphazenes and derivatives. Exemplarily, we show results on the flame-retardant finishing of cotton and cotton/PET blends with allyl polyphosphazene. We used the terminal allyl group for the photo-induced coupling of allyl polyphosphazene on textile substrates. Using our UV technology 20 to 40 weight percent of the functionalized polyphosphazenes can be fixed covalently to different textile substrates. We observed a slight decrease of the fixed polyphosphazene amount after the first washing cycle indicating the removal of non-bonded molecules. After this initial washing step the add-on is stable. Even after six laundering cycles the modified material withstands various standardized flammability tests. In summary, photochemical treatments allow the permanent surface modification of natural and synthetic fibers by irradiating with UV light in the presence of reactive media. We have successfully demonstrated that these procedures are appropriate for the fixation of flame retardants as well. Polyphosphazene modified textiles show high levels of flame retardant performance even after several textile laundering cycles.

Functional groups often are not tolerated in the polymerization process of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and therefore protective groups need to be applied. Advantageously, several orthogonally reactive functions are available, which do not demand protection during ROP. We give an insight into available, orthogonally reactive cyclic monomers and the corresponding functional synthetic and biodegradable polymers, obtained from ROP.

  • Fundamental Chlorophosphazene Chemistry
    FUNDAMENTAL CHLOROPHOSPHAZENE CHEMISTRY A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Zin-Min Tun December, 2011 FUNDAMENTAL CHLOROPHOSPHAZENE CHEMISTRY Zin-Min Tun Dissertation Approved: Accepted: Advisor Department Chair Dr. Claire A. Tessier Dr. Kim C. Calvo Co-Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Wiley J. Youngs Dr. Chand Midha Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Peter L. Rinaldi Dr. George R. Newkome Committee Member Date Dr. Chrys Wesdemiotis Committee Member Dr. Edward Evans ii ABSTRACT Even though chlorophosphazene chemistry has been around since the 1800s, it was not until the 1950s when Allcock successfully synthesized the soluble chlorophosphazene polymer that the door to functionalized polyphosphazenes was opened. At present, polyphosphazenes constitute the largest group of inorganic backbone polymers, with their potential applications ranging from elastomers to biomaterials. Most functionalized polyphosphazenes are derived from polychlorophosphazenes. The problems surrounding the synthesis and storage of polychlorophosphazenes hinder the commercial development of functionalized polyphosphazenes. In the quest for a cost- effective synthetic route and for storage solutions, our group focuses on the fundamental chlorophosphazene chemistry. This dissertation discusses our endeavors to understand fundamental chlorophosphazene chemistry, the majority of the work being on the chemistry of [PCl2N]3. The dissertation is divided into six chapters; Introduction, Mechanistic Studies of the Fluxional Behavior of Group 13 Lewis Acid Adducts of [PCl2N]3, Group 13 Super Acid Adducts of [PCl2N]3, Crown ether complexes of HPCl6, Reactions of Group 15 Superacids with Chlorophosphazenes and Conclusion. Chapter I, the introduction, provides the overview of the previous studies of the iii acid-base chemistry of chlorophosphazenes.

Abstract The previously unreported carbene-phosphine adduct (IPr)PCl2N3, [IPr = (HCNDipp)2C:; Dipp = i Draft 2,6- Pr2C6H3] was synthesized and used as a synthon toward the elusive dichlorophosphazene monomer unit, [Cl2P=N]. (IPr)PCl2N3 was found to undergo halide and azide abstraction when combined with various electrophiles and its thermolysis yielded the unexpected Staudinger reaction product (IPr=N)PCl2. Introduction Originally referred to as ‘inorganic rubber’, poly(dichlorophosphazene) [Cl2P=N]n was first reported by Stokes in 1895.1 This important parent polymer is typically synthesized by the ring- opening polymerization (ROP) of hexachlorophosphazene [Cl2P=N]3, however it was initially of little practical importance due to its propensity to undergo hydrolysis.

Marshall Space Flight Center Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama 35812 i ABSTRACT Attempts to prepare low molecular weight, curable poly(fluoroalkoxyphosphazenes)have been successful. De- rivatization of [C12PN]n polymer with alkoxides derived from CF3 CH20H, C3 F7 CH2OH, and CH3 CHCH2 CH20H or C2 H5 NHCH2 CH 2 0H OH gave functionally reactive terpolymers. These terpolymers could be crosslinked with polyisocyanates at room temperature. Attempts to control molecular weight have not been as successful. The effects of (C12PN)3 monomer purity, use of (C12PN) 3 4 mixture, and early termination of the bulk polymeri- zation of (C12PN) 3 were studied briefly. Both low and high molecular weight polymers were obtained. Reaction of NH4 C1 with PC15 with subsequent heating to give chain extension gave either gels or oils with molecular weights of several thousand.

  • Novel Anhydrous Superprotonic Ionic Liquids and Membranes for Application In
    Novel Anhydrous Superprotonic Ionic Liquids and Membranes for Application in Mid-temperature Fuel Cells by Younes Ansari A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved May 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: C. Austen Angell, Chair Andrew Chizmeshya Ranko Richert George Wolf ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis studies three different types of anhydrous proton conducting electrolytes for use in fuel cells. The proton energy level scheme is used to make the first electrolyte which is a rubbery polymer in which the conductivity reaches values typical of activated Nafion, even though it is completely anhydrous. The protons are introduced into a cross-linked polyphospazene rubber by the superacid HOTf, which is absorbed by partial protonation of the backbone nitrogens. The decoupling of conductivity from segmental relaxation times assessed by comparison with conductivity relaxation times amounts to some 10 orders of magnitude, but it cannot be concluded whether it is purely protonic or due − − equally to a mobile OTf or H(OTf) 2 component. The second electrolyte is built on the success of phosphoric acid as a fuel cell electrolyte, by designing a variant of the molecular acid that has increased temperature range without sacrifice of high temperature conductivity or open circuit voltage. The success is achieved by introduction of a hybrid component, based on silicon coordination of phosphate groups, which prevents decomposition or water loss to 250ºC, while o enhancing free proton motion. Conductivity studies are reported to 285 C and full H 2/O 2 cell polarization curves to 226 oC.
