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:

Effect of expandable graphite on polyester resin-based intumescent flame retardant coating
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of expansion rate of expandable graphite (EG) modified polyester resin-based intumescent flame retardant coating on flame retardancy was preliminarily studied by techniques including cone calorimeter (CC) and SEM.

Comparative Studies on Thermal, Mechanical, and Flame Retardant Properties of PBT Nanocomposites via Different Oxidation State Phosphorus-Containing Agents Modified Amino-CNTs
San-E Zhu,Li-Li Wang,Hao Chen,Wei Yang,Anthony Chun Yin Yuen,Timothy Bo Yuan Chen,Cheng Luo,Wen-Mei Bi,Enzhu Hu,Jian Zhang,Jing-Yu Si,Hongdian Lu,Kunhong Hu,Qing Nian Chan,Guan Heng Yeoh +14 more
TL;DR: PBT/DPP(O 3)-A-CNT showed the highest crystallization temperature and tensile strength, due to the superior dispersion and interfacial interactions between DPP(O3)-A -CNT and PBT, and exhibited the best flame retardancy resulting from the excellent carbonization effect.

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.
