Synergy between conventional phosphorus fire retardants and organically-modified clays can lead to fire retardancy of styrenics [PDF]
, 2003 Polystyrene–clay nanocomposites combined with phosphorous-containing fire retardants have been prepared and used to explore the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer formed. The amounts of fire retardants and clay used were varied to

Processing waste printed circuit boards for material recovery [PDF]
, 2007 PURPOSE We have investigated the use of pyrolysis for the processing of waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). The aim was to make the process of separating the organic, metallic, and glass fibre fractions of PCBs much easier and therefore make ...
