The use of modern chemical routes and the development of innovative material designs bring smart solutions to the problems in materials science and open up new horizons for future research. In this work, we utilized from two click reactions to prepare a P and N‐containing reactive flame retardant. The para‐fluoro groups of bis(pentafluorophenyl)phenyl phosphine oxide were converted to azides and then the obtained compound was reacted with propargyl acrylate via copper‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The effect of the synthesized monomer (10%, 20%, and 30%) on the mechanical, thermal, and flame retardancy properties of an aliphatic polyurethane acrylate was investigated. The newly synthesized monomer led to a slight decrease in double bond conversion percentages, an increase in tensile strength of the photocured samples, and a decrease in the elongation at break values. The glass transition temperatures increased with the increasing amount of the flame retardant monomer as well as the limiting oxygen index (LOI) values. When the flame retardant ratio was 30% in the formulations, almost a 25% enhancement was realized in the LOI values.
In this study, the synthesis of novel three molecular cages based on bis‐structure of 8,16‐methano‐16H‐dinaphtho[2,1‐d: 1’,2’‐g][1,3]dioxocine (DNDO) is reported. The linkers between bis‐DNDO structures are bearing both etheric structures and bis(1,2,3‐triazole) moieties that are acting also as coordination ligands. The cavities of the molecular cages change depending of the position of dioxocine ring oxygens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
