Polyphosphazenes, which are used as heat-resistant polymers in the aerospace industry and as flexible scaffolds for bone

Question:

Polyphosphazenes, which are used as heat-resistant polymers in the aerospace industry and as flexible scaffolds for bone regeneration, are inorganic polymers with the repeating unit (—PR2=N—)n, in which R stands for side chains such as —CHgroups. How would you expect the properties of the polyphosphazene with methyl side chains to differ from those of the corresponding silicone polymer (see Fig. 11E.15)? Explain your reasoning.FIGURE 11E.15 CH Si CH
