In this work, vinylphosphonic acid is used during polymerization of acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, methacrylic acid to produce fire-retardant polymers. These phosphorus containing polymers are successfully spun in the form of nanofibers. Properties such as water absorption of polymers are also determined and compared with commercial polymers. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Materials Engineering}, volume = {13}, number = {1}, year = {2019}, pages = {50 - 56}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009959}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/145}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 145, 2019}, }
