An XPS study of the thermal degradation of polystyrene-clay nanocomposites [PDF]
, 2002 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, has been used to examine several polystyrene-clay nanocomposites. The accumulation of oxygen, from the almuniosilicate, on the surface of the polymer was observed, along with the loss of carbon.

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 318-333, April 2026.ABSTRACT Materials and products age with time and their properties change. It is known that, for example, the mechanical strength may be deteriorated from ageing. To understand the ageing effect on the fire behaviour of materials and products is important to maintain the safety level of the construction or application.

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.Thermal behavior of composites reinforced with synergistic materials. ABSTRACT As firefighting efforts increase daily, the use of fire‐resistant materials is also on the rise. However, those materials sometimes create other problems. The discovery that halogenated fire retardants are toxic is one example.

Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 580-601, April 2026.ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset
