Thin coatings of crosslinked poly(vinylphosphonic acid) display good adhesion and excellent fire-retardant barrier properties when applied to the surfaces of a typical thermoplastic, such as poly(methyl methacrylate), but perform relatively poorly in water-soak tests. Water-soak test performance can be significantly improved however by various hydrophobic modifications without detriment to fire performance.
