Abstract:

Polyphosphazene(PPZ) sub-micrometer spheres were prepared rapidly under room temperature via precipitation polymerization of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene(HCCP) with 4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol(BPS), using acetonitrile as the solvent and triethylamine(TEA) as the acid-acceptor. The PPZ sub-micrometer spheres were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and EDX, and their highly cross-linked structures were identified. SEM and TEM results indicated that the PPZ sub-micrometer spheres had diameter of about 410 nm, solid structure and smooth surface. TGA result showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of the PPZ sub-micrometer spheres was about 531 ℃. In addition, the formation mechanism of the PPZ sub-micrometer spheres was proposed.
