A Review on Some Selected Bio-Based (Green) Flame Retardants

TL;DR: In this article, the authors take advantage of the chemical structure of bio-based resources to explain their specific mechanism of retardance, and show that the chars formed to serve as a heat sink, preventing heat transfer to the bulk of the material.

Efficient green synthetic routes to bio-based polyurethanes from soymeal

TL;DR: Chalasani et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the feasibility of using readily available and relatively cheap soy meal as a starting material to produce biobased urethane polyols for polyurethane.

Microwave-Assisted Catalytic Synthesis of Bio-Based Copolymers from Waste Cooking Oil.

TL;DR: Solvent-free copolymerization of epoxides derived from fatty esters of waste cooking oil with phthalic anhydride using (salen)CrIIICl as catalyst and n-Bu4NCl/DMAP as co-catalysts was carried out for the first time under microwave irradiation, where reaction time was reduced from a number of hours to minutes.
