Tetrabromobisphenol A and Brominated Epoxy Resins
topic
TBBPA and brominated epoxy resin analysis in textile laminates and coated conductive fabrics uses solvent extraction followed by HPLC-MS/MS or GC-MS quantification, targeting these reactive and additive brominated flame retardants used in printed circuit board laminates and flexible electronics substrates incorporated into e-textile and smart textile applications.
Role
Addresses the endocrine disruption and thyroid hormone interference potential of TBBPA and its metabolites migrating from electronic textile components into skin contact, particularly relevant for WEEE-directive-regulated e-textile garments incorporating brominated epoxy substrate materials in their embedded electronic components.
