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.

Assessing the combustibility of claddings: A comparative study of the modified cone calorimeter method and cylindrical furnace test

open access: yesFire and Materials, 2021
A cone calorimeter, a standard device to measure the fire reaction properties of materials, is modified in this study to investigate its potential to replace the cylindrical furnace test method to assess the combustibility of cladding materials used in ...

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

Study of Under-Ventilated Burning Characteristics of Materials with the Cone Calorimeter

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2013
The ISO 5660-1 Cone Calorimeter is commonly used for the measurement of main fire properties of products and materials, such as the heat release rate, the effective heat of combustion, the mass loss rate or the time to ignition.

View factor in cone calorimeter testing [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2016
This work focuses on algebraic derivations of geometric view factors (i) from plane element to interior of truncated cone in parallel configuration; (ii) from plane element to segment of interior of truncated cone in perpendicular configuration, to clarify irradiance-related uncertainties generated in cone calorimeter tests on intumescent-type fire ...

Flammability behaviour of wood and a review of the methods for its reduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Wood is one of the most sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally benign materials. Not only is wood often an integral part of structures, it is also the main source of furnishings found in homes, schools, and offices around the world.
