Fire Retardancy of Multiphase Polymer Systems

Continuous fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic composites: influence of processing on fire retardant properties

“…Several parameters were simultaneously measured, including heat release rate (HRR), time to ignition (TTI), total heat released (THR), maximum (peak) of HRR (pHRR), time of flameout, mass loss, smoke density, and CO and CO 2 amounts. To evaluate the fire properties, pHRR was used as it characterizes the propagation rate of the flame and the spreading of fire . For each process and fire retardant composition, two experiments were performed.…”
