Plastic additives for fire safety with weight reduction, thermal stability in processing and waste management Morpholino-poly(piperazinyl-morpholinyl-triazins)*

This paper is not just about the benefits of the smart plastics, but also about the potential remedies of the environmental concerns of their use. It is also a discussion about a potential pathway to an efficient use of fossil (combustion) fuels and the reduction of the emissions caused due to their use, in general. Morpholino-poly (piperazinyl-morpholinyl-triazin) imparts sustainable fire-safety and subdued incineration behaviour to plastics combined with weight reduction, and facilitates their melt processing. Additionally, it enables their ultimate environmentally friendly disposal as waste, after the ultimate use, coupled with simultaneous generation of usable energy. The knowledge & experience thus gained from energy extraction of waste plastics provide guidelines for future research to increase the efficiency of energy extraction and the reduction of emissions from combustion fuels in general. The technology is also intended to safeguard against open burning of plastics that leads to air-pollution flashover and forest fires. The various aspects of the experimental data generated are presented and plausible mechanisms of the technology are discussed.
