Novel glycerol-based polymerized flame retardants with combined phosphorus structures for preparation of high performance unsaturated polyester resin composites

Fukai Chu et al.

Summary: Due to the ineffective flame retardant efficiency and compatibility of traditional flame retardants, it is challenging to prepare unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composites with excellent flame retardant properties.
