Thermal analysis, in particular the derivatograph and its improved variants, were used to characterize flame retardation processes in solids. The techniques presented in this paper are applicable both to solid—liquid and to gas—liquid transitions. Naturally‐occurring and synthetic polymers and flame retardants of practical importance were chosen as model substances. The results confirm data obtained using other methods. The advantages and the limits, in the application of thermal analysis to the field of flame retardation, are discussed.
ChemInform Abstract The adducts (I), derived from 2,5-dichloro-3-methyl-1H-phospholes and dichlorocarbene, decompose at 135 rc C, producing isomeric dihydrophosphorines (II) and (III).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
