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-retardant properties.
