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 ...

Microstructural, mechanical, and acoustic analyses of concrete with EPS and silica fume [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The incorporation of expanded polystyrene (EPS) into concrete reduces its density, but also its mechanical properties. Therefore, the concrete with EPS is generally considered as a non-structural material.

Improving Welding Behavior of ETPU Bead Foams by Surface Modification with Plasticizers

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Tributyl citrate (TBC) and stearic acid (SA) modify ETPU beads through different diffusion mechanisms. TBC diffuses the bead structure directly after coating, whereas SA remains on the surface until melting and subsequent diffusion during heating. The resulting plasticization improves bead fusion, allowing RF processing at reduced temperature and ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Polyaniline as a dual flame retardant and electrostatic dissipative additive in polyethylene nanocomposites

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 339-355, March 2025.
Effecft of co‐doping polyaniline with phosphoric acid and phytic acid on the heat release rate of polyethylene. Abstract Polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE), are highly flammable and electrically insulative, limiting their applicability. The study explored the flame‐retardancy and electrical conductivity of PE/polyaniline (PE/PANI) nanocomposites ...
