| Description | Important breakthroughs were made in terms of understanding the polymerization mechanism. We developed new polymers that may have useful applications. The publications arising from this grant are receiving very high levels of citation. |
| Exploitation Route | The new polymers that we have developed may have useful applications as flame retardants and as functional polymers. We are interacting with a company that is interested in replacements for halogen-based flame retardants which are being phased out. |
| Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Energy,Other |
| Description | The research has contributed to the global fundamental research database and has had considerable impact in this regard. We are also interacting with potential beneficiaries in terms of future exploitation of the work. One company is interested in the resulting polymers as flame retardant materials. |
