TI: Cyclophosphazenes as polymer modifiers
The utilization of cyclophosphazenes as polymer modifiers is reviewed, with particular concern to their exploitation as versatile chain extenders, possibly for recycle problems, crosslinkers, to enhance mechanical properties of polymeric materials, branchers, to selectively introduce ramifications in linear polymers, and compatibilizers, to favor the formation of blends between originally incompatible organic macromolecules. The great versatility of the synthetic methods put forward for these substrates, together with the ease of controlling their modification, functionalization and reactivity are important parameters for the evaluation of which type of use is more feasible for these trimer…
Cyclophosphazenes as versatile substrates in polymer chemistry
In this article we present the synthesis of new cyclophosphazenes and their use as chain extenders, polymers compatibilizers, and monomers.
