This paper presents an analysis of the use of red phosphorus as a flame retardant material in encapsulated microcircuits and discusses the reliability risks. Chemical reactions, which can arise when red phosphorus is exposed to ambient humidity to form highly mobile ions and oxygen-containing phosphorus acids, are presented. These ions and acids can induce electro-chemical migration, causing sh...

The current aim of our research work is to isolate bio-polymer from fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale & to evaluate its retardibility by formulating microdwarfs containing nimesulide as a model drug. The bio-material was isolated by a simplified method. Six different bio-micro dwarf formulations were prepared using isolated bio-material as a retardant. The formulated microcapsules were eval...

Prolonged exposure to the flame retardants found in many household products and building materials is associated with adverse developmental, reproductive, and carcinogenic consequences. While these compounds have been studied in numerous epidemiological and animal models, less is known about the effects of flame retardant exposure on cell function. This study evaluated the toxicity of the commo...

This work deals with the use of hydrotalcite nanoparticle post-diffusion in layer by layer (LbL) coatings with the aim of improving their flame retardant action on cotton. The selected LbL components, which encompass polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and deoxyribonucleic acid, aim at the deposition of an intumescent coating. Infrared spectra pointed out a super-linear growth of the investiga...

Flame retardants, such as inorganic fillers or halogenated resins, are incorporated into composites either as additives or reactive materials. In order to improve processability and mechanical properties, as well as reduce smoke toxicity, a method is being developed to introduce highly effective, inexpensive flame retardant materials into thermoset resins. Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) can be l...
