Engineering Phosphorus‐Modified Flame‐Retardant Thermoplastic Polyurethane via Reactive Melt Processing

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorus‐modified TPUs are prepared by one‐step, solvent‐free reactive melt processing using phosphate‐ or phosphonate‐containing diols and PEG or PPG soft segments. Fire behavior and mechanical response depend strongly on both chemistries. Peak heat release rate decreases by up to 54%, but reduced tensile strength and V‐2 dripping behavior reveal a ...

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...

The Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour Applied to the Mediating Influence of Habit on Recycling Behaviour in South African Townships

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recycling rates in South African townships remain critically low, undermining progress towards sustainable development and the transition to a circular economy. This study applies the theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIP) to examine how recycling habits mediate the relationship between key drivers—past behaviour, environmental concern ...

Tracking Post‐Consumer Packaging Plastics With Global Positioning Systems: Pilot Study in Malaysia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landfilling and the mismanagement of packaging plastic waste pose significant challenges in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. There is an empirical gap in plastic waste management data, which is largely handled by informal players despite established municipal solid waste collection systems.

Residents Perceptions of Sustainable Urban Development: A Comparative Study Between Lima, Medellín, and San Salvador

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban sustainability assessments in Latin America have relied predominantly on institutional and technical indicators, leaving resident perceptions—a critical dimension of policy legitimacy—systematically underexplored. This study addresses that gap through a comparative analysis of how residents perceive sustainable urban development across ...

Funding, Facilities, and the Face of Homelessness: Heterogeneous Impacts of Federal Grants on Sheltered and Unsheltered Counts

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the causal impact of federal homeless‐assistance grants on reported homelessness and shelter capacity across 370 Continuums of Care in 2019. We exploit cross‐sectional variation in pre‐1940 housing shares, used in Community Development Block Grant formula allocations, as an instrument for combined CoC and Emergency ...

Oxide Scale Morphology of Carbon Steels Under Novel Reheating Conditions

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the changes in oxide scale morphology formed under simulated hydrogen and oxy‐fuel reheating gas atmospheres in comparison to natural gas‐air reheating. Several different properties were analyzed, such as pore structure, ratios of iron oxides, adhesion, and distribution of alloying elements.
