The dehydration of gypsum residues was studied by grinding and calcining them at 500 °C for 1 h and 3 h, and it was observed that only the sample calcined for 3 h (GR3) was completely dehydrated. The composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical tests of tensile, flexural, and impact strength. The results showed that the gypsum fillers increased PLA’s toughness, and the compositions with coconut oil (PLA–RG3–COC) and epoxidized soybean oil (PLA–RG3–ESO) obtained increases in stiffness and toughness, observed by changes in Young’s modulus (from 2 up to 2.5 GPa) and strain at break (from 3 up to 40%), respectively. Gypsum fillers promoted the shift of degradation temperature for higher temperatures (~ 360 °C), and the addition of the bioplasticizers slightly influenced the thermal stability of the composites. A plasticizing effect on the decreasing glass transition temperature of the composites was observed with the addition of coconut oil, cardanol, and epoxidized soybean oil.

Because of lipase's ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds in PCL, the scaffolds that were immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution containing lipase showed a much higher degradation ratio (90%) after 28 days than those in PBS solution containing amylase (18%) or the combination of both (51%). These degradation ratios are much greater than the similar previous reports in which the scaffold had smaller pore size caused by other methods like electrospinning.

In contrast, halogen-free polymer composites emerge as a sustainable alternative, offering both safety and superior performance. This review investigates the latest advancements in halogen-free polymer composites, emphasizing their environmental benefits and advanced performance characteristics such as enhanced flexibility, robustness, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability. Recent innovations include the integration of nanomaterials, which significantly improved the electrical and thermal properties of these composites, and the adoption of advanced fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, which enhanced scalability and design flexibility. Additionally, the review highlights the role of sustainable materials and bio-based polymers in the development of these composites, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint. Despite these advancements, significant gaps have been remained, particularly concerning the long-term stability and large-scale manufacturing processes of these composites. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the widespread adoption of halogen-free polymer composites in flexible electronics.

The diester monomer DPBD was polymerized with either 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol as aliphatic diols to afford aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters (P<sub>1</sub>–P<sub>4</sub>).

From the results, the weight-average molecular weight (M<sub>w</sub>) of the polyesters ranged from 37.5 to 45.5 kg/mol, glass transition temperature (T<sub>g</sub>) ranged from 65 to 78 °C, initial thermal decomposition temperature (T<sub>d,5%</sub>) varied from 324 to 353 °C, yield strength varied from 45 to 56 MPa, and elongation-at-break ranged from 215 to 290%.

Therefore, the purpose of this work was to test the effect of PF on the flammability and thermal properties of the biopolyester phase. For this purpose, the pyrolysis technique was used, which yields a valuable solid phase in addition to the gas and liquid phases. To effectively give it a second life, a proprietary method of modifying the filler recovered by pyrolysis was developed to effectively separate and remove an organic part in the form of a layer of amorphous carbon (a-C), which acts as a universal sorbent. For this purpose, the a-C phase was extracted using binary solvent and replaced it using three types of salts: ammonium salt of benzyl phosphite, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIC), and methyldodecylbenzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (BMAC). Using a high-temperature processing technique, polylactide composites containing 5% (by weight) additive were obtained. The results of thermal (TGA, DSC) and flammability (PCFC, UL94, LOI) analysis studies show that the use of BMIC and BMAC salts for the intended purpose is particularly promising.
