Abstract
The purpose of this research was to synthesize and incorporate two novel spirocyclic, phosphorous containing reactive flame-retardant for inclusion in polymer systems, such as epoxy resins, with variable applications in industry. The novel compounds are P-SBE-1 and P-SBE-2. The target P-SBE-1 has been synthesized and fully characterized utilizing 1H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy. This compound has also been successfully incorporated into an epoxy resin and showed very promising flammability results. The target P-SBE-2 will require further efforts to complete its synthesis and characterization.
