Abstract
This work studies the thermooxidative degradation of cotton and modacr ylic fabrics and of a cotton-modacrylic blend. The association in a bl end of modacrylic with cotton fibres is used to improve the fire behav iour of the latter. Using the IKP method which allows the degradation of the material to be modelled, we demonstrate that better thermal sta bility does not imply better fire-proofing properties, but that these are controlled by the fuel flow rate feeding the flame.
