DOI: 10.1002/tox.24581
Abstract: Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems. Furthermore, the fragmentation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09673911211046803
Abstract: This work consists of preparation and characterization of composites produced from thermoplastic starch (TPS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS). Due to the immiscibility of the system (TPS/HIPS), it was necessary to incorporate concentrations of 1,… read more here.

DOI: 10.5562/cca3110
Abstract: The non-isothermal degradation of pure high- impact polystyrene (HIPS) and flame retarded HIPS nanocomposites was investigated in the temperature range 25–550 °C at four heating rates in an inert atmosphere. Three different phosphate and polyphosphate… read more here.
