Robust, biomimetic, superhydrophobic coating with flame-retardant properties and excellent self-extinguishing performance

Nano Research
Flame-retardant coatings are crucial for safety. However, flame-retardant materials are often hydrophilic, causing them to easily dissolve in high-humidity environments, thereby significantly limiting their durability.

A Strategic Approach to Improving Interfacial Interactions in TPU/POSS Composites via Ball Milling of POSS

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Ball‐milling promotes uniform POSS dispersion in the TPU matrix, markedly improving the mechanical performance of TPU‐POSS composites. ABSTRACT We synthesized TPU/POSS composites through a two‐step process involving the ball milling of POSS to reduce its particle size, followed by in situ polymerization of TPU to reinforce the material.

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 ...
