In this chapter the influence of phosphorus incorporated through a reactive approach on the flame retardancy of polymers is reviewed. Phosphorus modifies the degradation pathway of the polymer and hence its thermal stability and charring. Its activity in the vapor phase would be also an additional mode of action. The influence of the chemical environment on the efficiency of phosphorus as flame retardant is also discussed.
