Abstract:The increasing market demand for electronic devices has raised concerns regarding the environmental impact of the flame retardants used in their production. Traditionally, brominated flame retardants have been used for their effectiveness despite their detrimental effects on the environment and hindrance to the principles of a circular economy. Evidently, harmful flame retardants should be replaced with less harmful ones. Hence, the exploration of alternatives, such as organophosphorus flame retardants like al… Show more
