Differentiated Analysis with Regard to Different Fire Properties

1 Differentiated Analysis with Regard to Different Fire Properties 

Most polymer nanocomposites show rather minor influences on decomposition of the polymer. Apart from a few exceptions, neither decomposition temperatures nor effective heat of combustion of the volatiles change relevantly. Consequently, 

SPECIFIC IMPACTS OF THE PRINCIPAL FIRE RETARDANCY MECHANISMS 

FIGURE 5.7 Total heat evolved plotted against FIGRA (peak heat release rate/time to peak heat release rate). Results are shown for an epoxy resin and epoxy resin/5 wt% D nanocomposite at various irradiances (30, 50, and 70 kW/m ).
