Abstract: 
Poly acrylate cyclotriphosphazene (poly PN-A) was successfully synthesized by polymerization reaction using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator in dry 1,4-dioxane to form poly PN-A. After that the blended polymer with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared for synthesized polymer (poly PN-A) by using ratio 10:1 per weight of synthesized polymer to PMMA hence they were mixed using dioxane. Many techniques were used to characterize the chemical structures of synthesized material. Infrared spectroscopy was used to identify the functional groups within the chemical structure of the compounds. Three types of nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 31P NMR) were used to confirm the chemicals structures of the products. 31P NMR was used because all units and their polymers have phosphine atoms in their chemical structures. Thus, all used spectra confirmed the chemical structure of synthesised materials with high percentage of purity.
