Two kinds of flame‐retardant polymers prepared from the phosphorylation of poly(vinyl acetate) were employed to reduce the flammability of polypropylene (PP). The two flame‐retardant polymers had very different effects because of the differences in their chemical structure. Effects on flame retardancy, thermal properties, mechanical properties, and phase morphology were investigated. Under a certain molecular design, the flame‐retardant polymers were able to offer good flame retardancy, good mechanical properties, and good PP matrix compatibility. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
