Burning characteristics of power cables with cone calorimeter [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon
Power cables consist of insulation, padding and sheathing, which are highly susceptible to ignition. Power cables are an important factor affecting fire risk in urban utility tunnels (UUTs).

The Evaluation of Torrefied Wood Using a Cone Calorimeter. [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers (Basel), 2021
This study focuses on the energy potential and combustion process of torrefied wood. Samples were prepared through the torrefaction of five types of wood: Ash, beech, oak, pine and spruce. These were heated for 2 h at a temperature of 300 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Torrefied wood was prepared from wood samples with dimensions of 100 × 100 × 20 mm3.

Fire Behavior of Thermally Thin Materials in Cone Calorimeter. [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers (Basel), 2021
In this study, a representative set of thermally thin materials including various lignocellulosic and synthetic fabrics, dense wood, and polypropylene sheets were tested using a cone calorimeter at different heat fluxes. Time-to-ignition, critical heat flux, and peak of heat release rate (pHRR) were the main parameters considered.

Influence of Phosphorus Structures and Their Oxidation States on Flame-Retardant Properties of Polyhydroxyurethanes

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
This article focuses on the synthesis of polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) materials containing novel phosphorus flame retardants (FR). Four different phosphorus compounds were grafted onto cyclic carbonate: 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide ...

Improvement of Flame Retardancy of Polyurethane Foam Using DOPO-Immobilized Silica Aerogel

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2021
In this work, silica aerogel was modified by 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-1-oxide (DOPO). Then DOPO-immobilized silica aerogel nanoparticles were used as a flame retardant to prepare flame-retardant polyurethane foams.

Single hadron response measurement and calorimeter jet energy scale uncertainty with the ATLAS detector at the LHC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The uncertainty on the calorimeter energy response to jets of particles is derived for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). First, the calorimeter response to single isolated charged hadrons is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo
