Plastics that can be molded into various sizes and shapes or forms are classified as molded plastics. Injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, and extrusion molding are the different types of technologies used in the production of molded plastic products. The major categories of plastics used for such productions include PE, PP, polystyrene, and PVC. Molded plastics are used in a wide range of applications such as packaging, consumables and electronics, and automotive and transportation.

Plastic packaging is used in the packaging of F&B, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other consumer products. Plastic bottles and containers are non-corrosive, light, and relatively cheap; plastic can be molded into a variety of shapes and dimensions, making it highly suitable for packaging. Its inert nature and ability to preserve products for a longer period of time makes it a popular choice in the F&B industry. In the F&B sector, plastic packaging helps in the promotion of products as they are more appealing to customers.

Biodegradable materials are those that decompose naturally by the action of microorganisms. Biodegradable plastics encompass a wide range of materials that are bio-based, biodegradable, or both, and differ from conventional non-biodegradable plastics in terms of raw materials, production technology, applications, and composting. The major applications of biodegradable plastics are in the Packaging, Agriculture, Gastronomy, Consumer Electronics and Automotive industries. Renewability and availability are the key factors that distinguish biodegradable plastics from conventional plastic materials.

环氧树脂由于具有优异的耐热性能、良好的力学性能和化学稳定性广泛应用于电子、建筑，胶粘剂、航空等众多领域。然而，环氧树脂的易燃性是其最大问题，对其阻燃改性一直是人们致力研究的热点。阻燃剂的发展方向日益趋于无卤化，特别是磷系阻燃剂逐渐成为阻燃环氧树脂领域的研究热点。反应型阻燃剂DOPO(9,10-二氢-9-氧-10-磷杂菲-10-氧化物)近年来受到广泛关注，它的分子中含有P-H键，可与不饱和键、羰基、环氧基等进行加成反应，生成各种DOPO衍生物。可作为反应型阻燃剂参与反应嵌入聚合物分子结构中。也可作为添加型阻燃剂用于高分子材料的阻燃。随着环保要求的日趋严格，该类产品的应用前景将10分可观。2010年前该类相关研究报道较多，专利较少，近年来专利大增(尤其是国内)。这表明，该类技术已逐步进入实用阶段。
