Flame Retardant Monomers and Crosslinked Polymers
PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIESFlame retardant monomersFlame retardant polymersFlame retardant composite materialsPRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES ADVANTAGESHalogen-free, flame retardant materialsFacile integration of fire resistant monomers into unsaturated polymers via crosslinking chemistries TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTIONThis invention provides flame retardant monomers and polymers. The monomers are unsaturated deoxybenzoin compounds that are inherently fire resistant and can decrease the flammability of unsaturated polymers by crosslinking the polymers. ABOUT THE LEAD INVENTORDr. Todd Emrick is a Professor in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering. He is a prolific inventor and a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
