Article Synopsis
- The text emphasizes that GDP does not account for the unpaid work mainly performed by women, which is crucial for societal well-being and should be considered when evaluating maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (MNCAH).
- Experts at The Venice Forum agreed that recognizing women's unpaid work could enhance GDP by reflecting its positive impact on health and prosperity across generations.
- The authors argue for a reevaluation of economic progress metrics to include societal contributions, especially in light of contemporary challenges like COVID-19, climate change, and conflict.
Synthesis of a novel phosphorus and triazole-functionalized flame-retardant (FR) monomer (PTFM) using azide-alkyne "click" reaction between triprop-2-ynyl phosphate and 2-azidoethanol that can impart intumescent FR property to polyurethane foams (PUFs) has been reported. Polyurethane triazole foams (PUTFs) were prepared using the as-synthesized PTFM and a hydroxylated castor polyol with a hydroxyl value of ∼310 mg KOH/g for application as reactive FR rigid foams. PTFM and the castor polyol were characterized for structural elucidation using Fourier transform infrared and H, C, and P NMR.
