Abstract:
Disclosed herein are directed to compositions containing one or more Graphite Intercalated Compounds (GICs), chemically associated with one or more salts. In some instances, the one or more salts anionic components are capable of modifying the one or more GICs via an oxidation process. In some embodiments, the one or more modified-GIC composition's overall composition has an acid content greater than or equal to the pre-existing acid content of the starting one or more GICs.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are flame retardant compounds and polymer compositions containing these flame retardant compounds. The flame retardant compounds can be derived from biological sources and can include coordinated metal ions.
