Explore: Halogenated Diphenyl Ethers

similar structures. An example of an ether is the solvent diethyl ether. Halogenated ethers differ from other ethers because there are one or more halogen

polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other polyhalogenated compounds, consisting of two halogenated aromatic rings

toddlers are particularly exposed to halogenated flame retardants found in breast milk and dust. Because many halogenated flame retardants are fat-soluble

anesthetics, such as isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane, are halogenated ethers. Diethyl ether was found to have undesirable side effects, such as post-anesthetic

reaction is conducted around 300 °C in polar aprotic solvents - such as diphenyl sulfone. PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical

group in ether linkages. Commercial phenyl ether polymers belong to two chemical classes: polyphenyl ethers (PPEs) and polyphenylene oxides (PPOs). The

2006). "Neonatal exposure to higher brominated diphenyl ethers, hepta-, octa-, or nonabromodiphenyl ether, impairs spontaneous behavior and learning and

heating element, friction or ultrasonic welding. It can be glued with halogenated solvents or various adhesives. This plastic is also used to produce air

polymers, and a few natural ones, contain halogen atoms; they are known as halogenated compounds or organohalogens. Organochlorides are the most common industrially

of synthetic organobromine compounds is the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers as fire-retardants, and in fact fire-retardant manufacture is currently
