Biocatalytic Synthesis of Highly Flame Retardant Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Polymers

A novel biocatalytic approach has been developed for the synthesis of highly flame‐retardant, inorganic–organic polymers based on siloxanes (see Figure). The approach is simple, biochemically mild, and requires minimal separation and purification protocols. All synthesized polymers showed good flame...

Description
Summary:A novel biocatalytic approach has been developed for the synthesis of highly flame‐retardant, inorganic–organic polymers based on siloxanes (see Figure). The approach is simple, biochemically mild, and requires minimal separation and purification protocols. All synthesized polymers showed good flame‐retardant properties.
