CommentAlkoxy-or aryloxy-substituted cyclo-triphosphazenes are generally suitable precursors for polymerization reactions in plasma. This present work is part of a study of plasma action on selected derivatives of cyclo-triphosphazenes. The plasma effect leads to the formation of polyorganophosphazenes, that are potentially attractive as fire retardants (Otsuka Chemical Company, 1985;Allcock & Taylor, 2000, Kanebo, 1991 and water repellents due to the presence of hydrophobic aryloxy-
