Following the green chemistry principles, three series of polyols with tailored chemical structures were obtained from PET wastes degradation via glycolysis and/or aminolysis and subsequent esterification-transesterification and/or amidation reactions, using an organic catalyst. As cleaving agents there were used various mixtures of renewable or potentially renewable reagents, selected from those that can be obtained from biomass by already applied or investigated and eventually patented biochemical and/or chemical processes. The polyols were characterized by physical-chemical methods, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FT-IR Spectroscopy, and tested in the synthesis of rigid polyurethane foams, showing appropriate properties for spray foams formation and leading to materials with properties similar to conventional spray foams.

A 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) acrylate, (6-oxidodibenzo [c,e][1,2] oxaphosphinin-6-yl) methyl acrylate (DOPOAA), has been prepared. Copolymers of styrene (St) and DOPOAA were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The chemical structures of copolymers containing levels of DOPOAA were verified using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The thermal properties and flame-retardant behaviors of DOPO-containing monomers and copolymers were observed using thermogravimetric analysis and micro calorimetry tests. From thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was found out that the T5% for decomposition of the copolymer was lower than that of polystyrene (PS), but the residue at 700 °C was higher than that of PS. The results from micro calorimetry (MCC) tests indicated that the rate for the heat release of the copolymer combustion was lower than that for PS. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) for combustion of the copolymer rose with increasing levels of DOPOAA. These data indicate that copolymerization of the phosphorus-containing flame-retardant monomer, DOPOAA, into a PS segment can effectively improve the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the copolymer.
