Abstract

Isosorbide is a bicyclic diether diol readily available from starch derived from a number of cereal crops. Its rigid structure and difunctionality make it an attractive material for conversion to a variety of polymer additives. Principal among these are flame retardants. These may be generated by either direct or indirect means and display good flame retardancy in a variety of polymeric materials.
