Project Overview

The project aims to address the insufficient synthetic development of phosphazene chemistry due to specificity, high functionality, side reactions, and difficulties in isolation, purification, and interpretation. It plans to develop methods for new compounds based on aryloxyphosphazenes and study curing processes and properties of epoxy phosphazene-containing compositions using phosphazenes as hardeners. The project also aims to determine the main factors affecting fire resistance. This project aims to develop a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) with flame retardant properties, high ionic conductivity, long-range electrochemical stability, and excellent charge-discharge stability for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The project aims to achieve these properties using epoxy-based aryloxyphosphazenes, which can be used to create non-combustible composite materials based on epoxy binders. This approach addresses the incombustibility problem in polymer materials science, as current methods often lead to deterioration in thermal stability, heat resistance, and mechanical properties. The project aims to solve several tasks, including obtaining new phosphazene-containing hardeners, studying the curing processes of epoxy resins, analyzing the properties of cured compositions, developing methods for filling binders with various materials, and developing solid polymer electrolytes from epoxy resin-based aryloxyphosphazene composites.
