In this work, silica aerogel was modified by 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-1-oxide (DOPO). Then DOPO-immobilized nanoparticles were used as a flame retardant to prepare flame-retardant polyurethane foams. Microscale combustion calorimeter and cone tests employed evaluate the retardancy of It found that both heat release rate total composites reduced with incorporation DOPO immobiliz...

A routine cone calorimeter procedure, the theoretical analysis method, based on a set of ignitability data from calorimeter, has been performed. The five sets ignition times at different irradiance levels were used for obtaining experimental needed analysis. tests performed with horizontal specimens size 100 mm × consisting eight pieces commercial poly(vinyl chloride) coaxial power cable. Speci...

The assessment of the modes action flame retardants (FRs) and their quantification is a challenging issue. This study highlights that condensed phase efficiency ? can be assessed by combining different flammability tests (pyrolysis-combustion flow calorimeter PCFC, Limiting Oxygen Index LOI, cone calorimeter). Relations were proposed to calculate LOI pHRR in from several parameters including ?....

Smoke is an important component of wildfires. Specifying the combustion process different materials allows scientists to better prevent and adopt public health measures. This experimental study contributes a characterisation smoke emitted by two types decking, wood thermoplastic, commonly used in terraces. Emission factors were characterised using cone calorimeter for incident fluxes ranging fr...
