Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials
TLDR
In this paper, the authors highlight the ecological impacts of using conventional flame retardants, thereby signifying the necessity to use eco-friendly agents, and explore the use of various nanofillers for this purpose, compare their performance with traditional systems, provide insights into different testing standards and combustion mechanisms, modelling aspects of the combustion behavior, and identify novel approaches that could be considered for meeting the fire safety standards with ecofriendly materials.About:

Novel amino glycerin decorated ammonium polyphosphate for the highly-efficient intumescent flame retardance of wood flour/polypropylene composite via simultaneous interfacial and bulk charring
TL;DR: In this paper, amino glycerin decorated ammonium polyphosphate (APD-APP) was well designed and prepared through an ion exchange reaction to tailor the dispersion of flame retardant in WF-filled polymer composites.

Yan-Peng Ni,Li Qitian,Lin Chen,Wan-Shou Wu,Zi-Hao Qin,Yi Zhang,Li Chen,Xiu-Li Wang,Yu-Zhong Wang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a benzimidazole monomer was designed as a H-bonding cross-linking monomer to prepare poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based copolyesters (PET-co-PBMs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Flame-retardant strategy and mechanism of fiber reinforced polymeric composite: A review
TL;DR: In this paper , the flame-retardant methods to treat fiber, polymer and composites are discussed, and the advantages and limitations of each method are also introduced, and a brief outlook at the development of the flame retardation for FRPC is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Borate cross-linked layer-by-layer assembly of green polyelectrolytes on polyamide 66 fabrics for flame-retardant treatment
TL;DR: In this article, borate cross-linked thin coatings made from green polyelectrolytes, chitosan (CS) and phytic acid (PA), were deposited on polyamide 66 (PA66) fabrics via layer-by-layer assembly to develop a durable flame retardant method.

Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the TEF concept is still the most plausible and feasible approach for risk assessment of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons with dioxinlike properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of brominated flame retardants in the environment.
TL;DR: In this paper, the current state of knowledge is reviewed and areas for further research recommended to improve future monitoring and risk assessment efforts, and the authors suggest that the occurrence of high concentrations of certain PBDE isomers may be sufficient to elicit adverse effects in some wildlife.

TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.
