This article reviews the recent developments in the synthetic strategies to chemically modify
several chain‐growth polymers that were primarily developed in our laboratories, with a …

This review focuses on introducing and explaining the rare earth metal-mediated group
transfer polymerization (REM-GTP) of polar monomers and is composed of three main …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Condensed‐phase mechanisms play a major role in fire‐retardant polymers. Generations of
development have followed the concept of charring to improve fire properties. Whereas the …

Polyisoprene elastomer, as natural rubber (NR) or manufactured synthetically (IR), is used in
rubber compounds for applications such as tyres, dampers and suspension elements. NR/IR …

A novel intumescent flame retardant piperazine-N, N′-bis (acryloxyethylaryl-
phosphoramidate)(N-PBAAP) containing phosphorus and nitrogen used for UV curable …

Pyrolyses of the reactively flame retarded polystyrene copolymers styrene/diethyl
(acryloyloxyethyl) phosphate (S/DEAEP), styrene/diethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate …

The influence of environmental ageing on the reaction to fire of flame‐retarded polymers is
reviewed. Six types of stimuli have been identified as the most relevant parameters inducing …

The two-step synthesis of phosphonate-functionalised polyethylenes with enhanced thermal
and flame-retardant properties has been described. Solution phase copolymerisation of …

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials were prepared starting from tetraethoxysilane and α-or
α, ω-triethoxysilane terminated poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL–Si) using the sol–gel process. In …
