Abstract Ethylene‐propylene diene rubber (EPDM) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP) blends have widest industrial applications that require a degree of flame retardancy. Halogen‐free intumescent technology based on phosphorous salt is a significantly advanced approach to make the polymer flame‐retardant. Both ammonium p…

The tunability of highly textured thin films of barium strontium titanate (Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3, BST) is analyzed theoretically using a Landau–Devonshire thermodynamic model. The relative dielectric constant of BST films is determined as functions of the applied external electric field, deposition temperature, and the therm…
