Aromatic vs. Aliphatic Hyperbranched Polyphosphoesters as Flame Retardants in Epoxy Resins

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
The current trend for future flame retardants (FRs) goes to novel efficient halogen-free materials, due to the ban of several halogenated FRs. Among the most promising alternatives are phosphorus-based FRs, and of those, polymeric materials with complex ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Ignition and Horizontal Flame Spread for Recycled Plastic Pellets

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fires in recycling facilities are known for producing noxious fumes, having high heat release rates (HRRs), being difficult to extinguish and causing significant devastation to business operations. This research aims to provide experimental data and numerical models from which performance‐based designs can be developed for recycling facilities.

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

open access: yes, 2022
Summary 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 ...

Correlating Mid‐Infrared Absorption With Radiative Efficiency in Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Systems

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We establish a correlation between the mid‐IR photonic response of Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling systems and their thermal radiation performances, characterized within a dedicated setup that simulates the irradiance toward outer space under controlled and reproducible conditions.

Effect of recycling on mechanical and physical properties of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
The 100% recycling of optimal polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends, identified through the mixture design, over multiple successive cycles provides valuable insights into their life cycle. Subsequently, chemical, rheological, thermal and mechanical characterizations will be carried out to evaluate

Experimental review of oxygen content at mixing layer in cone calorimeter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This work aims to elucidate whether the hypothesis of zero oxygen at the mixture layer when flame takes place is assumable for every kind of material. For that purpose, we investigated the oxygen concentration there by cone calorimeter tests.

Construction of h-BN Based Coating Towards The Flame Retardancy of Cotton Fabrics: Based on The Guidance of Mesoscopic Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
The employment of nanofillers for the enhancement of flame retardant of cotton fabrics was limited by the weak adherency, which is usually deal with additional adhesive coating. This paper investigates the adhesive of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) from the

Fire Testing and Hazard Assessment for Flame Retardant Polymer Composites

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Flame retardant polymer composites are now being evaluated with more than pass or fail flammability tests. Heat release, smoke, toxicity, and system‐level behavior are receiving more attention, and multi‐scale methods are being used to describe fire hazard under more realistic conditions.
