Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Reframing FDI Motivations Through OLIP: Explaining Private Engagement for Sustainable Development in PPPs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The drivers of firms' participation in fragile markets have become increasingly complex. Under such conditions, the conventional explanation focusing on incentives within the OLI framework—ownership, location, and internalization advantages—proves insufficient.
