Abstract

Abstract Polyphosphazene copolymers are prepared which contain randomly distributed units represented by the formulas: ##STR1## wherein X is --CNO 2 R 1 R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 are H, a branched, straight chain or cyclic alkyl group containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof, and wherein X' is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aryloxy, alkenylaryloxy, amino and mercapto groups or mixtures thereof. In the copolymer units represented by the above formulas, all X substituent groups may be the same or they may be mixed and all X' substituent groups may be the same or mixed. In the mixtures, the X substituent groups may be mixtures of different --CNO 2 R 1 R 2 groups and the X' substituent groups may be mixtures of alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aryloxy, alkenylaryloxy, amino and mercapto groups. The copolymers of the invention can be utilized to form protective films and may also be utilized in applications such as for moldings, coatings, and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 78 words
A polyphosphazene copolymer containing randomly distributed units represented by the formulas: ##STR8## wherein X is --CNO 2 R 1 R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of H, a branched, straight chain and cyclic alkyl group containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof, and where X' is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aryloxy alkenylaryloxy, amino and mercapto groups or mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 78 words
A polyphosphazene copolymer containing randomly distributed units represented by the formulas: ##STR8## wherein X is --CNO 2 R 1 R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of H, a branched, straight chain and cyclic alkyl group containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof, and where X' is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aryloxy alkenylaryloxy, amino and mercapto groups or mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 13 words

Claim 7
Independent Claim 135 words
A method of preparing polyphosphazene copolymers containing randomly distributed units represented by the formulas: ##STR9## wherein X is --CNO 2 R 1 R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of H, a branched, straight chain and cyclic alkyl radical containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof, and wherein X' is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aryloxy, alkenylaryloxy, amino and mercapto groups or mixtures thereof; said method comprising reacting a poly(dichlorophosphazene) polymer having the formula --(NPCl 2 )--, wherein n is from 20 to 50,000, with a mixture consisting of a nitroalkane and a group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic or aromatic alcohol, an amino compound and a mercaptan compound in the presence of a tertiary amine.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 135 words
