Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flame retardant filler includes a bridged polysilsesquioxane prepared by sol-gel polymerization. In an exemplary synthetic method, a bridged polysilsesquioxane-based flame retardant filler is prepared by sol-gel polymerization of a monomer having two or more trialkoxysilyl groups attached to an organic bridging group that contains a fire retardant group (e.g., a halogen atom, a phosphinate, a phosphonate, a phosphate ester, and combinations thereof). Bridged polysilsesquioxane particles formed by sol-gel polymerization of (((2,5-dibromo-1,4-phenylene)bis(oxy))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(trimethoxysilane), for example, and follow-on sol-gel processing may serve both as a filler for rheology control (viscosity, flow, etc.) and a flame retardant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A flame retardant filler, comprising: a bridged polysilsesquioxane prepared by sol-gel polymerization of a monomer comprising two or more trialkoxysilyl groups attached to an organic bridging group, wherein the organic bridging group has a backbone portion that includes at least two oxygen atoms, and wherein the organic bridging group is halogenated. 2. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 1 , wherein the monomer is represented by the following formula: 3. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 1 , wherein the monomer is represented by the following formula: 4. A flame retardant filler, comprising: a bridged polysilsesquioxane prepared by sol-gel polymerization of a monomer comprising two or more trialkoxysilyl groups attached to an organic bridging group, wherein the organic bridging group has a backbone portion that includes at least one phosphorous atom. 5. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 4 , wherein the monomer is represented by the following formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are organic substituents. 6. A flame retardant filler, comprising: a bridged polysilsesquioxane prepared by sol-gel polymerization of a monomer comprising two or more trialkoxysilyl groups attached to an organic bridging group, wherein the bridging group contains a fire retardant group selected from a halogen atom, a phosphinate, a phosphonate, a phosphate ester, and combinations thereof. 7. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 6 , wherein the bridging group contains at least two bromine atoms as the fire retardant group and the monomer is represented by the following formula: 8. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 6 , wherein the bridging group contains at least four bromine atoms as the fire retardant group and the monomer is represented by the following formula: 9. The flame retardant filler as recited in claim 6 , wherein the bridging group contains a phosphinate as the flame retardant group and the monomer is represented by the following formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are organic substituents.
