✦ Synopsis

This article describes the synthesis and characterization of a polymerbound nonhalogen fire retardant (NHFR). The reactive fire retardant used in this study is 2-carboxyethyl(phenylphosphinic) acid (CEPP); the polymer is poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Fire-retardant and other modifiers of polymer properties must be bound to the polymer for use in fiber, medical, and food contact applications. Copolymers containing very high levels of CEPP have been prepared. Although fire retardancy in PET is achieved at relatively low levels of CEPP, our ability to produce copolymers with high levels of phosphorous makes them very attractive as polymeric nonfugitive fire retardants for other polymers, such as polycarbonate, nylon, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), and various polymer blends. This article also describes NHFR polyester compositions containing 4,4Ј-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid and CEPP. It is shown that an increase in aromaticity gained by incorporating the 4,4Ј-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid leads to higher limiting oxygen index values.

Random copolymers of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) were synthesized by melt condensation. In a series of thin, solvent cast films of varying PEN content, acetone diffusivity and solubility were determined at 35°C and an acetone pressure of 5.4 cm Hg. The

Blends of carboxyl functionalized poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and poly-(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were shown to undergo an ester interchange reaction during melt blending. Pendent carboxyl functionality randomly incorporated along the PPS chain reacts with the ester moiety of PET to form a gra
