Abstract
Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and poly(dichlorophosphazene) react with the sodium salt of ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate to give small molecule cyclic and high polymeric phosphazenes with aryloxy ester side groups; reaction of these compounds with potassium tert-butoxide brings about complete hydrolysis of the ester groups to yielding aqueous media-soluble, carboxylic acid bearing cyclic and high polymeric phosphazenes; the carboxylic acid bearing high polymer formed ionic cross-links when treated in aqueous media with salts of di- or trivalent cations yield hydrogels and membranes. The cross-linked gels were stable in neutral or strongly acidic aqueous media, but the cross-linking process was reversed in basic aqueous solutions of excess monovalent cations.
