Low Cost Flame Retardant Polymers from Low Cost Olefinic Comonomers
This technology is an approach to using sulfenyl-halide polymerization with olefinic comonomers to prepare a new class of intrinsically flame-retardant polymers for the production of a wide range of thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers, and thermoset materials. Materials prepared with this technology have afforded a V0 UL-94V flame retardancy rating...

Natural Rubber Vulcanization using Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers
A new high sulfur content polymer has been developed for tire vulcanization. This polymer may improve chemical compatibility, mixing, and result in more efficient crosslinking.
Background:
Sulfur, the traditional vulcanizing agent for tire rubber, is largely insoluble in rubber precursors and requires high temperatures to form crosslinks. Even with...
