More Information
Summary:The invention provides a novel platform for minimal- or non-flammable polymers, which is based purely on hydrocarbon systems and does not need additives of any kind A key feature is that the hydrocarbons disclosed herein are characterized by degradation mechanisms that produce few flammable volatiles. For example, 2,4,4′,6-tetrahydroxydeoxybenzoin is employed as a multifunctional cross-linker in conjunction with bis-epoxydeoxybenzoin, affording new resins that combine excellent physical and mechanical properties with low flammability.
