Phosphorus-containing polymers are very promising because of the versatility of their applications. Polyphosphates and polyphosphonates are well-known for their excellent fire-retardant properties. In this work, a cotton fabric was grafted by oxygen-tolerant photochemically induced atom transfer rad...
