Retarders01:19

Retarders

264
Retarders are chemical admixtures designed to extend the setting time, which is especially useful when there is a delay in sequential concrete pours to prevent cold joints and to achieve a cohesive structure. Retarders, when used in appropriate amounts, can also enhance the architectural appearance of exposed aggregate finishes.
The function of retarders is to delay the setting of concrete, and this effect can be measured using a penetration test. The retardation process involves adding...

Polymers

40.7K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

The Nucleosome Core Particle02:10

The Nucleosome Core Particle

14.4K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

The Phosphorus Cycle01:21

The Phosphorus Cycle

43.9K
Unlike carbon, water, and nitrogen, phosphorus is not present in the atmosphere as a gas. Instead, most phosphorus in the ecosystem exists as compounds, such as phosphate ions (PO43-), found in soil, water, sediment and rocks. Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient (i.e., in short supply). Consequently, phosphorus is added to most agricultural fertilizers, which can cause environmental problems related to runoff in aquatic ecosystems.

Dehydration Synthesis01:15

Dehydration Synthesis

149.4K
Overview
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Phosphorus oxidation state dictates flame retardancy in polymers. Diphenylphosphinyl methacrylate (DPMA) offers gas-phase inhibition, while diphenylphosphoryloxy methacrylate (DPOMA) promotes condensed-phase char formation for enhanced fire safety.

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Fire Safety Engineering

Background:

  • Growing demand for halogen-free flame retardants due to environmental and health concerns.
  • Limitations of current polymer applications necessitate advanced flame-retardant solutions.
  • Phosphorus-containing compounds are promising alternatives for polymer fire safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize two novel phosphorus-containing methacrylate monomers: diphenylphosphinyl methacrylate (DPMA) and diphenylphosphoryloxy methacrylate (DPOMA).
  • To investigate the effect of phosphorus oxidation state on flame-retardant mechanisms in core-shell polymers.
  • To establish a shell-specific localization strategy for rational flame-retardant polymer design.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of DPMA (+1 oxidation state, P-Ph bond) and DPOMA (+5 oxidation state, P-O-C bond).
  • Seeded emulsion polymerization to incorporate monomers into the shell of core-shell polymers.
  • Analysis of particle morphology, polydispersity, and flame-retardant performance (pk-HRR, FGI, av-EHC, char yield, Raman spectroscopy).

Main Results:

  • Uniform core-shell polymer particles with low polydispersity (PDI < 0.07) were successfully synthesized.
  • PA-DPMA70 (70 wt% DPMA in shell) demonstrated gas-phase inhibition, reducing peak heat release rate by 44%.
  • PA-DPOMA70 (70 wt% DPOMA in shell) exhibited condensed-phase protection, increasing char yield and forming a graphitized structure (ID/IG ratio = 1.56).

Conclusions:

  • The oxidation state of phosphorus in flame retardants critically determines the flame-retardant mechanism (gas-phase vs. condensed-phase).
  • Shell-specific localization of flame retardants offers a strategy to tune polymer fire behavior.
  • Findings provide guidance for designing advanced halogen-free flame-retardant polymers.
