Synthesis and characterization of chlorinated bisphenol-based polymers and polycarbodiimides as inherently fire -safe polymers

Two different types of polymers were synthesized and their degradation and combustion behavior were investigated. The first class, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene (bisphenol C) based polymers, were found to be among the most fire-resistant polymers with peak heat release capacities as l...
