    Abstract: A process of utilizing a heat-activated conductive spinel material for PCB via overcurrent protection includes forming a PCB laminate structure that includes a spinel-doped insulator layer having a heat-activated conductive spinel material incorporated into a dielectric material as a spinel-based electrically non-conductive metal oxide. A sensing via is formed in the PCB laminate structure at a location that is proximate to a power via in the PCB laminate structure. The sensing via is electrically isolated from the power via by a region of the spinel-doped insulator layer and is electrically connected to a monitoring component configured to detect current flow through the sensing via that results from an overcurrent event in the power via that generates sufficient heat to cause the spinel-based electrically conductive metal oxide to release metal nuclei into the region to provide a conductive pathway through the region from the power via to the sensing via.

    Abstract: An impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer, processes of forming an impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer, and an article of manufacture comprising an impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer are disclosed. The impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer includes at least one hexahydrotriazine group and at least one chain comprising an allylic portion and a styrenic portion. Variations in the chain control properties of the impact resistant polymer. The process of forming the impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer includes reactions between formaldehyde and at least two classes of monomer that form hexahydrotriazine groups and impact resistant chains. Adjusting relative monomer concentrations controls properties of the impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer. The article of manufacture contains a material that has an impact resistant polymer. Impact resistance of the impact resistant polyhexahydrotriazine polymer is dependent upon variation in relative amounts of monomers used in its synthesis.

    Abstract: A process of forming a gluten-derived flame retardant material includes forming an amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule that includes an aryl halide group and a phosphorus moiety. The process also includes chemically reacting the amine-functionalized flame retardant molecule with a gluten protein under transamidation conditions to bind the phosphorus moiety to a first portion of the gluten protein. The process further includes initiating a cross-coupling reaction between the aryl halide group and amine group of a second portion of the gluten protein to form a gluten-derived flame retardant material.
