Abstract
A process of forming a gluten-derived flame retardant material includes forming an amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule that includes an aryl halide group and a phosphorus moiety. The process also includes chemically reacting the amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule with a gluten protein under transamidation conditions to bind the phosphorus moiety to a first portion of the gluten protein. The process further includes initiating a cross-coupling reaction between the aryl halide group and amine group of a second portion of the gluten protein to form a gluten-derived flame retardant material.

A process of forming a gluten-derived flame retardant material, the process comprising:
- forming an amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule that includes an aryl halide group and a phosphorus moiety;
- chemically reacting the amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule with a gluten protein under transamidation conditions to bind the phosphorus moiety to a first portion of the gluten protein;
- and
- initiating a cross-coupling reaction between the aryl halide group and an amine group of a second portion of the gluten protein to form a gluten-derived flame retardant material.
A process of forming a gluten-derived flame retardant material, the process comprising:
- forming a mixture that includes a gluten protein and an amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule that includes a phosphorus moiety;
- and
- initiating a chemical reaction between an amino acid component of the gluten protein having a terminal carboxylic acid group and the amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule under amidation conditions to form a gluten-derived flame retardant material.
A gluten-derived flame retardant material formed by a process comprising:
- forming a mixture that includes a gluten protein and an amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule that includes a phosphorus moiety;
- and
- initiating a chemical reaction between the amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule and the gluten protein to bind the phosphorus moiety to the gluten protein.
