The highly efficient bio-based flame retardant with favorable interfacial compatibility is crucial for a polylactic acid (PLA) composite with well-balanced flame retardant and mechanical properties. In this study, a highly efficient flame retardant TPBC, hybridizing with 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid (3-ABBA), phytic acid (PA), chitosan (CS) and isocyanuric acid triglycidyl ester (TGIC), was prepared by aqueous green one-pot method. TGIC promotes uniform dispersion of the flame retardant and robust interfacial adhesion by lowering the interfacial tension and the reaction of the epoxy functional groups with the PLA terminal groups. PLA composite containing only 3 wt% TPBC exhibits a LOI value of 29.5 %, achieving the desired UL-94 V-0 rating, excellent self-extinguishing performance and a significant reduction in melting droplets. Meanwhile, the mechanical strength of 3%TPBC-PLA is notably strengthened to be 58.1 MPa due to the boosted interfacial compatibility and the enhanced crystallinity of 21.6 %. Furthermore, the UV protection factor (UPF) of 3%TPBC-PLA is raised to 74.7, which shows good UV shielding ability. The present work opens up a great promise for the application of the flame retardant PLA composites with high mechanical performance.

Macroalgal blooms have frequently occurred in coastal waters, and a large amount of algogenic dissolved organic matter (DOM) is input into seawater as macroalgae degraded. It undergoes continuous changes under microbial degradation; however, the impact of microbially-modified marine DOM on the environmental behaviour of organic pollutants remains underexplored. This study focused on Ulva prolifera, the dominant species in green tides, and investigated the molecular diversity of DOM from U.

The fire-retardant properties of bio-composites are generally enhanced through nano fillers incorporation at the cost of their mechanical properties. In this study, magnesium hydroxide (MH) nano filler was incorporated into flax/vinyl ester (VE) bio-composite to enhance its fire-retardancy and thermal stability simultaneously with mechanical properties. MH is chemically compatible with cellulosic fibers which played a role in improving the interfacial bonding and hence the mechanical properties in this study.

In the electronics field, the demand for polymer-based interface materials with high thermal conductivity is increasing. In this study, a three-dimensional thermally conductive framework was fabricated using a bidirectional freezing technique, incorporating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as the primary filler and polyethylenimine (PEI) as the binder. Moreover, a phosphate ester hyperbranched flame retardant (DTFR) was synthesized.

Large-scale oceanic assessments are key for determining the persistence and long-range transport potential of organic pollutants, but there is a dearth of these for organophosphate esters (OPEs), widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers. This work reports the latitudinal distribution (42°N-70°S) and vertical profiles (from the surface to 2000 m depth) of OPEs in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans and explores their biogeochemical controls. The latitudinal gradient shows higher surface OPE concentrations near the equator than at higher latitudes, consistent with the prevailing oceanic and atmospheric circulation, and measured wet deposition events.
