Abstract

In this paper, we present the synthesis of tris(4-hydroxybutyl acrylate) phosphate using 1-methylimidazole as acid scavenger for hydrochloric acid by-product, when an ionic liquid is formed. The synthesis was performed in the absence of any organic solvent. The yield is 83% for ester. The phosphate was characterized by 1H–31P NMR and FTIR. The obtained phosphate is appropriate monomer for UV curing in the presence of photoinitiator. The obtained polymer was characterized by thermal analysis and LOI. The results showed good thermal stability and flame retardancy of UV-cured polymer.
