Application of modified phytic acid as flame retardant in cellulosic paper

Application of Oligomers with Urea Linkage as Flame Retardant and Antibacterial Materials in Jute Fabric

Graphene phosphonic acid as an efficient flame retardant.

We report the preparation of graphene phosphonic acid (GPA) via a simple and versatile method and its use as an efficient flame retardant. In order to covalently attach phosphorus to the edges of graphene nanoplatelets, graphite was ball-milled with red phosphorus. The cleavage of graphitic C-C bonds during mechanochemical ball-milling generates reactive carbon species, which react with phospho...

Flame-Retardant Cellulosic Fiber Nanocomposite Based on Aluminum Tetraborate and Aluminum Tungstate

Lignin-Modified Carbon Nanotube/Graphene Hybrid Coating as Efficient Flame Retardant

To reduce fire hazards and expand high-value applications of lignocellulosic materials, thin films comprising graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) pre-adsorbed with alkali lignin were deposited by a Meyer rod process. Lightweight and highly flexible papers with increased gas impermeability were obtained by coating a protective layer of carbon nanomaterials in a r...

Urinary Tetrabromobenzoic Acid (TBBA) as a Biomarker of Exposure to the Flame Retardant Mixture Firemaster® 550

BACKGROUND Firemaster® 550 (FM550) is commonly added to residential furniture to reduce its flammability. Recent toxicological evidence suggests that FM550 may be endocrine disrupting and obesogenic. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to develop methods to assess exposure to FM550 in human populations and to identify potential routes of exposure. METHODS Using mass spectrometry methods, we deve...
