To address the growing emphasis on the use and development of sustainable materials, bio-based polymers and fibers are processed to prepare entirely bio-based fiber-reinforced ‘green’ composites. To enable these new materials to perform in lightw

Kinetics of polymer bond scission, the initial step in thermal decomposition of polyethylene and other vinyl polymers, was investigated as a function of the number of repeat units using an improved Reactive Molecular Dynamics (RMD) approach, which is

Addition of just 0.0025 mass fraction of highly aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) showed a 45% reduction in the peak mass loss rate (PMLR) during gasification of epoxy/MWCNT composites; this 45% decrease in PMLR at such a low loading (0.002

Estimation of the time available for escape (ASET) in the event of a fire is a principal component in fire hazard or risk assessment. Valid data on the yields of toxic smoke components from bench-scale apparatus is essential to accurate ASET calculat

A method for calculating the energy of mixing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with polymers is presented. The formation of the nanocomposite is analyzed in terms of a simple path in which the nanotubes are exfoliated from a bundle and dispersed in a distorte

Experiments have been conducted in the NFPA 269 / ASTM E1678 radiant apparatus to determine the sensitivity of toxic gas generation to atmospheric oxygen availability and to the conformation of the test specimen. CO and HCN generation can be dependen

RMDff is a new forcefield that smoothly couples the reactive intersections of potential energy surfaces to model chemical reactions. The method uses switching functions to accomplish a smooth transition from reactant to product atom types. This paper

Spectrally resolved infrared absorption coefficients of methanol were measured using high temperature Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for a range of temperatures (up to 1000 K) expected to be within the fuel rich core of pool fires. Pr

Certain engineered nanoparticles (ENP) reduce the flammability of components used in soft furnishings (mattresses and upholstered furniture). However, because of the ENP's small size and ability to interact with biological molecules, these fire retar
