It is found that the results such as observed in the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), which show the major thermal decomposition (TD) of a self-reactive material, lack the detail to reveal what happens at the initial stage of a reaction. The reaction at this stage is corresponding to the handling condition of storage or transportation, often possibly having the potential to be developed to a runaway reaction. This paper examined and compared the thermal behaviors of AIBN at various working conditions in calorimeters and Dewar vessels. The mechanism that affects the initial reaction and self-heating behavior of the given material was clarified. Near its onset decomposition temperature, physical processes, such as sublimation or melting interfered the initial reaction of AIBN. The mutuality of the physical effect and the chemical reaction made AIBN behave differently under different measuring conditions, and as the result, quasi-autocatalysis or TD possibly occurs in the same sample at the handling temperature range. The heat accumulation storage tests in two Dewar vessels presented completely different self-heating behaviors due to this mechanism and heat transfer capability of the vessels.

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is famous for the clean utilization of organic wastes without SO emission. Investigating the decomposition mechanism of sulfone compounds, the dominant organic sulfur compounds of organic wastes, in supercritical water (SCW) is conducive to the development of SCWG technology. Herein, the comparative decomposition mechanism of phenyl vinyl sulfone (PVS), diphenyl sulfone (DS), and benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide (BD) are explored via experiments and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations.

Comparing to the solvent-based and waterborne polyurethanes (PU), the solvent-free reactive PU (RPU) is prepared via in-situ polymerization and film-formation of isocyanate-capped prepolymers and macromolecular polyols in solvent-free system. Thus, the carbon emissions and environmental pollutions are significantly reduced. However, the rapid polymerization also challenges the well control of structure and properties, especially the ordered microstructures.

Thermal modification is an environmentally friendly process that does not utilize chemical agents to enhance the stability and durability of wood. The use of thermally modified wood results in a significantly extended lifespan compared with untreated wood, with minimal maintenance requirements, thereby reducing the carbon footprint. This study examines the impact of varying modification temperatures (160, 180, and 210 °C) on the lignin of spruce wood using the ThermoWood process and following the accelerated aging of thermally modified wood.

In this study, biodegradable and active films based on sodium alginate incorporated with different concentrations of oils (25% and 50%) from fruit seeds were developed for potential applications in food packaging. The ultraviolet and visible (UV-VIS) spectra of raspberry seed oil (RSO) and black currant seed oil (BCSO) indicated differences in bioactive compounds, such as tocopherols, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, chlorophyll, and oxidative status (amounts of dienes, trienes, and tetraenes) of active components added to alginate films. The study encompassed the color, structure, and thermal stability analysis of sodium alginate films incorporated with RSO and BCSO and their mixtures.
