Mechanically robust biochar‐modified polystyrene foam with enhanced flame retardancy using halogen‐free additives

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Halogen‐free biocomposite polystyrene foams were fabricated via pilot‐scale supercritical CO2 extrusion using expandable graphite, melamine polyphosphate, biochar, and recycled polymer. The optimized formulation exhibited refined cellular morphology, enhanced flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index of 25%, rapid self‐extinguishing), and improved ...

Engineering Phosphorus‐Modified Flame‐Retardant Thermoplastic Polyurethane via Reactive Melt Processing

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorus‐modified TPUs are prepared by one‐step, solvent‐free reactive melt processing using phosphate‐ or phosphonate‐containing diols and PEG or PPG soft segments. Fire behavior and mechanical response depend strongly on both chemistries. Peak heat release rate decreases by up to 54%, but reduced tensile strength and V‐2 dripping behavior reveal a ...

The Dynamic Impact of the Energy Transition on Food Security in Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the context of persistent food insecurity and the global push for the transition toward clean energy in developing countries, understanding the association between clean energy access and food affordability is increasingly important to inform multisectoral policy interventions. Against this background, this study explores the dynamic impact

Toward SDG 13: A Machine Learning‐Based Assessment of Financial Freedom, Investment Freedom, and Environmental Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies in the context of the finance‐environment nexus mainly rely on quantitative indicators to provide information on activity or depth of the financial system, ignoring how institutional openness and the degree of regulatory autonomy within the financial market shape environmental outcomes that are directly relevant to Sustainable

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

Escaping the Regional Carbon Trap: The Role of Renewable Energy Innovation in EU Decarbonisation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The persistence of carbon‐intensive development pathways continues to hinder progress towards climate neutrality, especially in regions where industrial legacies, infrastructural inertia, and institutional rigidities reinforce emissions.
