Effect of Bamboo Flour on Flame Retardancy and Smoke Suppression of Polypropylene/Ammonium Polyphosphate Composites

Frontiers in Materials, 2020
In this paper, the flame-retardant Polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by melt blending. Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP) and bamboo flour (BF) were selected as flame retardant and smoke suppressant of the composite material.

Smoke and mirrors: Magnified beliefs that cigarette smoking suppresses weight [PDF]

Addictive Behaviors, 2007
Research suggests that for some smokers, weight concerns interfere with smoking cessation. Studies with individuals with eating disorders and weight concerns have indicated that weight-concerned individuals place undue faith in the effectiveness of certain weight control strategies; i.e., adopt a brand of magical thinking pertaining to food rules and ...

On smoke suppression of clouds in Amazonia [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2005
We use large eddy simulations of smoke‐cloud interactions to demonstrate the relative importance of various factors responsible for cloud suppression in the biomass burning regions of Amazonia. The model includes unprecedented treatment of coupled smoke aerosol‐cloud‐radiative feedbacks in a 3‐dimensional model that resolves scales of ∼100s m.
