This review reports research carried out by the authors during the last 10 years. The research involves the synthesis, characterization, functionalization, and possible utilization of cyclo- and polyphosphazenes. The investigations concern the synthesis of poly(dichlorophosphazene) by polycondensation reaction of dichlorophinoyliminotrichlorophosphorane; the grafting of unsaturated organic substrates (maleic anhydride, maleates or vinyl polymers) onto poly(organophosphazenes) by free radical reactions and the use of the synthesized materials for the preparation of new grafted copolymers or for the superficial modification of conventional organic macromolecules; the synthesis of phosphazenes containing free hydroxylic groups by reaction of methoxy aryloxy- or methoxy oligoethyleneoxy-substituted cyclo- and polyphosphazenes with boron tribromide or trimethylsilyl iodide and their use for the preparation of new phosphazene-based materials (e.g., sol-gel hybrids, thermosetting resins, azodyes, cyclolinear inorganic–organic polymers sometimes containing chiral units, or organic macromolecules having cyclophosphazene residues as pendant groups); and the preparation of oxazoline-containing cyclic and polymeric phosphazene derivatives for the synthesis of photoinitiators, chain extenders, or blend compatibilizers. The possible developments of this research are also envisaged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
