Various multifunctional aromatic compounds were synthesized and tested to ascertain if they were able to cross‐link polystyrene. Catalysis and inhibition at high temperature were studied to achieve control over the cross‐linking temperature, in order to develop suitable formulations which may function as flame retardants.
