Changing a Winning Team—Replacement of Brominated Flame Retardant and Antimony Trioxide in Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This comprehensive study investigates reducing the amount of brominated flame retardant (Br) and/or antimony trioxide (ATO) in acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene. Therefore, condensed‐phase flame‐retardant mechanisms are introduced into the flame‐inhibition system.

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

The calculation of rail potential considering stray current

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Taking the railway network of a certain region as an example, this paper introduces the traction law of the metro in urban rail transit and the common power supply mode between traction stations. The finite element modelling of vehicle operating conditions was carried out using simulation software to analyze the interference law
