J. Rychly et al., PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF MODELING IGNITION AND BURNING OF ORGANIC POLYMERS .1. THE CASE OF PE LOADED WITH MIXTURES OF AL(OH)3 AND MG(OH)2 OR MGCO3, Die Makromolekulare Chemie. Macromolecular symposia, 74, 1993, pp. 193-208
A correlation has been found between limiting oxygen index and tendenc
y towards decomposition into volatiles as determined from nonisotherma
l thermogravimetry for polyethylene charged with the mixtures of AI(OH
)3 and Mg(OH)2 or MgCO3. An interpretation based on the model of ignit
ion and burning of polymers has been put forward and a dependence or h
eat transfer coefficient on temperature of ignition and initial mass o
f sample was found.
