Flame Retardant Biobased Polymers
Résumé
Environmental concerns arising from the limits to the waste management of plastics have entailed a strong development of biobased and biodegradable polymers for a wide range of applications. Tailoring new plastics and composites within a perspective of sustainable development aims to create an environmentally safe alternative to oil based polymer materials. Different categories of these polymers can be distinguished according to their complete or only partial renewable character as well as their ability to biodegrade.
