A polymeric coating solution based on poly(acryloyl diphosphoric acid)(poly(ADP)) was prepared via a radical polymerization of acryloyl diphosphoric acid using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator in water at 70 $^{\circ}C$. The prepared polymeric coating solution exhibited significant antibacterial activity against salmonella typhimurium, pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, and staphylococcus aureus. It also exhibited good antifungal activity against Asperigillus niger and good antiviral activity against the influenza (H1N1) virus. Additionally, it exhibited good flame retardant efficiency after applying it as a coating to a cotton fabric.

Novel phosphrous flame retardant tetramethylene bis(orthophosphorylurea) (TBPU) was synthesized by the reaction of diphosphoric acid with 1,4-butanediol and urea, and charaterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). As the amount of TBPU added in polyurethane foam (PUF) was increased, the flame retardancy of PUF was increased and the mechanical properties were not decreased. Also, in the flame resistance test after the reduced pressure storage, the flame retardancy of TBPU added PUF was retained. We could find out that the thermal resistance of TBPU added PUF increased compared to that of pure PUF.
