A series of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analyses was carried out on polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyamide in CAB 4.5 and CAB 650 chambers in the flaming and non-flaming combustion mode. The combustion products formed were identified and used to characterize the combustion process in both chambers; procedures were selected for testing polymeric materials for the dangerous effects of their combustion products.
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.
