Influence of different organic side groups on the thermal behavior of polyphosphazenes: random chain cleavage, depolymerization, and pyrolytic cross-linking

Organometallic Derivatives of Cyclotriphosphazene as Precursors of Nanostructured Metallic Materials: A New Solid State Method

“…It is now well known that the thermal degradation of cyclotriphosphazenes often produces cyclolinear and cyclomatrix materials [32,[38][39][40][41]. In these cases the crosslinking of the polymeric chains of the cyclophosphazenes produces a high char yield.…”

“…The high pyrolytic yields of these systems were attributed to their extensive coordination cross-linking upon heating. Relatively few thermal studies of organometallic derivatives of cyclotriphosphazene have been reported [32,33,[38][39][40][41].…”

Synthesis of Pyridyloxycyclophosphazene and its Cu(I) Complex

“…In these cases the crosslinking of the polymeric chains of the cyclophosphazenes produces a high char yield. For the pyrolysis of the organometallic derivatives of the cyclotriphosphazene, a similar mechanism to that of the analogous organometallic derivatives of polyphosphazenes could operate [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Fluorine containing phosphazene polymers

“…Thermal studies on this polymer demonstrated the exceptionally high thermal stability of PTFEP, which depolymerized at temperatures above 150 8C [33], while at high temperature (450 8C) the polymer is completely volatilized [34].…”
