Abstract
In an example, a process includes combining a methyl methacrylate monomer, a butadiene monomer, a styrene monomer, and an organophosphate monomer. The process includes initiating a polymerization reaction to form a flame-retardant copolymer.
Claims20
A polymeric impact modifier comprising a flame-retardant methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) copolymer having a polymer chain including a phosphorus-containing acrylic monomer or a phosphorus-containing styrenic monomer.
A polymeric blend comprising:
- a first polymeric material that includes a flame-retardant methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) copolymer having a polymer chain including a phosphorus-containing acrylic monomer or a phosphorus-containing styrenic monomer;
- and
- a second polymeric material.
A polymeric impact modifier comprising a flame-retardant methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) copolymer having a polymer chain that includes an organophosphate material, wherein the flame-retardant methyl MBS copolymer has a first impact resistance value that is greater than a second impact resistance value of a polylactic acid (PLA) homopolymer.
