Thermal Degradation and Carbonization Mechanism of Fe-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks onto Flame-Retardant Polyethylene Terephthalate.Currently, the metal-organic framework (MOF) is a promising candidate for flame-retardant polymers.  The thermal degradation and carbonization mechanisms of MIL-PET and MIL-P-PET were systematically investigated through thermogravimetric analysis coupled with a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR), pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectrum combined with quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulation.
