Abstract:We synthesized an acrylic acid 4-[(10-oxo-10H-9-oxa-10λ5-phospaphenanthren-10-yl)-phenylamino-methyl]-phenyl ester (DOPO-AC), a novel Schiff base derivative based on 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, and evaluated its utility as a flame retardant for polystyrene (PS). The synthesized DOPO-AC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The reactive vinyl groups of DOPO-AC further copolymeri… Show more
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.
