Abstract
Over the last few years, more and more research papers were published in the field of phosphorus-containing polymers. Polymerization of different kind of phosphorus-based monomers using various methods has been carried out: (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylamides, vinyl phosphonic acid, styrenic, allyl monomers. Resulting phosphorus-based materials found applications in different domains: biomedical, complexation with metals, fire retardant additives, fuel cell membranes…I will discuss herein different approaches to synthesize new phosphorus-containing polymers, mainly based from bio-resources (i.e. biophenols, polysaccharides) and their potential use as flame retardants, anti-corrosive coatings or even as superplasticizers for cement
