The current global plastics economy is highly linear, with the exceptional performance and
low carbon footprint of polymeric materials at odds with dramatic increases in plastic waste …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the third most widely diffused polymer exploited in the
packaging industry, monopolizing the bottles market for beverages, and covering almost the …

Epoxy resins are widely used in the manufacturing of fire safety products in the industry. 9,
10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) is a commercially available …

Textiles have a very long history, but they are far from becoming outdated. They gain new
importance in technical applications, and man-made fibers are at the center of this ongoing …

The effect of the addition of additives such as melamine (Mel), silica nanoparticles and a
phosphorus-based compound, ie 3-(6-oxidodibenzo [c, e][1, 2] oxaphosphinin-6-yl) …

Following a waste-to-wealth approach, humic acid (HA) was exploited as a flame retardant
additive. The effect of its addition alone and in combination with urea (UR) and ammonium …

The fire performance durability of products containing flame retardants may be significantly
affected after aging and mechanical recycling. Publications of the last ten years show that …

A sulfathiazole derivative with phosphaphenanthrene group (STZ) was successfully
synthesized by covalently bonding DOPO and imine intermediate obtained from the …

Silica-epoxy nanocomposites were prepared via an “in-situ” sol-gel synthesis process and a
phosphorus (P) flame-retardant ie 6H-dibenz [c, e][1, 2] oxaphosphorin, 6-[(1-oxido-2, 6, 7 …

Abstract Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) has wide usage in packaging and fiber
industries thanks to its superior mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. It is also one of …
