The use of a cone calorimeter for the preliminary determination of the extinguishing efficiency of bulk materials

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Determining the extinguishing effectiveness of extinguishing agents against solid fires is difficult. This is mainly due to the large variety of combustible materials.

Synergistic Effect of Intumescent Flame Retardant and Organically Modified Montmorillonite on Flame-Retardant and Foaming Properties of High Density Polyethylene/Walnut Shell Powder Biocomposites [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم و تکنولوژی پلیمر, 2017
The synergistic effects of organic montmorillonite (OMMT) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on flame retardant enhancement of High density polyethylene/walnut shell powder (HDPE/WSP) biocomposite were investigated by using the limiting oxygen index (LOI),

Uniformity Of Radiant Heat Fluxes In Cone Calorimeter [PDF]

open access: yesFire Safety Science, 2003
A model has been developed for the local configuration factor for the radiant interchange between the internal surface of the cone heater and the specimen's surface in the cone calorimeter. The incident heat flux under the cone was characterised in a series of experiments as a function of spatial coordinates.

The Controlled Atmosphere Cone Calorimeter: A Literature Review

open access: yesFire Technology, 2023
AbstractCone calorimeters are widely used to assess heat release parameters and flammability of combustible materials, but their use is limited for applications where the global equivalence ratio (GER) exceeds one, because they can only replicate burning in open conditions. The standardisation of the controlled atmosphere cone calorimeter (CACC) in the

Jet Physics at the Tevatron

open access: yes, 2010
Jets have been used to verify the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), measure the structure of the proton and to search for the physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, we review the current status of jet physics at the Tevatron, a sqrt(s)

Synergistic Effect of Carbon Nanotubes and Decabromodiphenyl Oxide/Sb\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eO\u3csub\u3e3\u3c/sub\u3e in Improving the Flame Retardancy of Polystyrene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Brominated flame retardant polystyrene composites were prepared by melt blending polystyrene, decabromodiphenyl oxide, antimony oxide, multi-wall carbon nanotubes and montmorillonite clay. Synergy between carbon nanotubes and clay and the brominated fire

Alkyltriphenylphosphonium Binding to Cardiolipin Triggers Oncosis in Cancer Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Alkyltriphenylphosphonium, exemplified by TPP+‐C14, preferentially accumulates in mitochondria and selectively binds to cardiolipin, a key phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, causing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, severe cellular ATP depletion, and calcium imbalance.
