Talk:Polyphosphazene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Moving section and comments from article

Polyphosphazene polymer can provide following characteristics:

Bio-compatibility,Flexibility,High dipole moment,Broad range of Tg,Chemical inertness,Mechanical strength,solvent permeability or impermeability,Elastomeric properties and Flame-retardancy.

Applications:

1)In drug delivery:Serve as microsphere delivery vehicles for drug and vaccine and block copolymer for micell fprmation. 2)As Ion conducting material:Polyphosphazene with alkyl ether side chains and with dissolved Lithium salts are usedin Li ion conductors.They are non-flamable,have low Tg and are among few polymer thatdissolve salts like lithium triflate or Li. 3)Proton conducting fuel cell membrane:The icorporation of acidic functional units into the side groups of Polyphosphazene yields polymer that are goog proton conductors. 4)Photonic material:The ease with which differentside groups can be incorporated into polyphosphazene has opened possibility that thes polymers may find uses in communication technology.
