Organically Modified Silicates as Inorganic-Organic Polymers... 

The combination of inorganic-organic polymers on a molecular level opens an interesting possibility of synthesizing new materials. Organic polymer synthesis and sol-gel techniques seem to be suitable techniques for this. The field is just at the beginning of its development.

As far as we know, only a few papers report on the fire behavior of intumescent inorganic polymers. A possible explanation is that inorganic polymers are inherently FR and are used as is. The particular case of inorganic-organic polymers is either they are already flame retardant or they are used in applications which do not require high level of flame retardancy. The only published work devoted to intumescent inorganic polymer concerns polyphosphazene, and will be discussed below.
