✦ Synopsis


A series of (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)( n-propoxy)cyclotriphosphazenes (HPCP) has been prepared by the reaction of N 3 P 3 Cl 6 with n-propanol and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) sequentially in the appropriate solvents. These phosphazene compounds are characterized by a combination of Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. It was found that the compounds were soluble in most of the organic solvents, exhibited an absorption between 207-216 nm, and were curable by UV irradiation. After curing, the surfaces of the HPCP-coated woodblocks were transparent and had a fire-retardant property, which has been ascribed to the intumescent behavior during the burning process.
