polyurethane foams are extensively used in different applications such as furnitures and sandwich structures due to better mechanical properties, higher acoustic and damping behavior, higher resistance to hydrocarbon, and aging.with respect to flammability of polyurethane materials and safety precaution in living and working environments there is a vital need to study and investigate published ...

1. INTRODUCTION Bridged polysilsesquioxanes(PSSQ) are a family of hybrid organic inorganic materials prepared by sol-gel technology of monomers that contain a variable organic bridging group and two or more trifunctional silyl groups【1-5】. Silsesquioxanes possess high thermal stability and superior mechanical properties and electrical properties. In this study, three types of bridged PSSQ were ...

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) membranes (buckypaper) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) paper were incorporated onto the surface of epoxy carbon fiber composites, as proposed fire shields. Their flammability behaviors were investigated by a cone calorimeter. SWCNT buckypaper and CNF paper did not show notable improvement on fire retardancy. However, MWCN...

Graphene quantum dots are zero-dimensional nanoparticles that used widely in advanced composite materials such as filtration membranes, adsorbent materials, optical devices, biomedical applications (especially biosensors), flame retardancy, and automotive, aerospace, agricultural environmental applications. In this article, the mechanical properties (flexural strength, flexural strain elastic m...

• A mechanically robust high-temperature shape memory photopolymer is reported. The glass transition temperature can reach 280 °C after thermally post-curing. HTSMP possesses record-high recovery stress and energy output. Synergy between isocyanurate phosphine oxide contributes to high flame-retardancy. available for high-resolution digital light printing. Here we report an intrinsically flame-...
