[×ÊÔ´] Fire Retardancy of Polymers: New Strategies and Mechanisms

T. Richard Hull, Baljinder K. Kandola, "Fire Retardancy of Polymers: New Strategies and Mechanisms" Royal Society of Chemistry | 2009-01-07 | ISBN: 0854041494 | 400 pages | PDF This book covers the latest developments in fire retardant strategies including: New fire retardant systems (including nanoparticulate fillers, sometimes combined with conventional fire retardants). Intumescent formulations and their recent applications in bulk polymers, fibres and textiles. Test-methods for material flammability. Material-specific aspects of combustion, smoke and toxicity. Fire retardant strategies covered, include the use of synergistic combinations of alumina with organoclay, organophosphorus compunds, silica and organosilicones, clay-phosphate combinations and a novel tecnhique for investigating fire retardant behavior. The section on nanoparticulate fillers includes an investigation on the effect of filler shape, the use of carbon nanofibres and nanotubes, the interpretation of nanocomposite behavior in the cone calorimeter, and groundbreaking new research on the influence of rheological properties on burning behavior. The coverage of fibres and textiles includes a discussion on trends in textile fire retardancy and flammability regulations, and some novel halogen-free approaches to fire retardancy of cellulose, acrylic and polypropylene textiles. Finally, the influence of fire retardants on fire toxicity is discussed in detail, followed by an investigation of the toxic products from burning fire retarded polymer nanocomposites. http://www.namipan.com/d/78200699bf89045369aafb18ac8391c7507176c1fa1d0401
