DOIAbstract
Two series of flame retardant polymers, viz. polyarylazo phosphate and phosphoramide esters, were synthesized by solution polycondensation of 4,4′-dihydroxyazobenzene with various aryl phosphorodichlorides and aryl phosphoramidic dichlorides. They were characterized by i.r. 1H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy. The molar mass, thermal and flammability studies were carried out by viscometry, thermogravimetry and limiting oxygen index respectively to examine the influence of the phosphate and phosphoramide linkages. The polyphosphoramide esters possess better thermal and flammability characteristics than the polyphosphate esters
