A novel thermogravimetric technique for determining flammability characteristics of polymeric materials

This paper reports a new thermogravimetric (TG) technique. Gases evolved during TG runs are analyzed for flammability characteristics including chemical heat release rate. Computations for two composites (glass-polyphenylene sulfide and graphite-phenolic) are presented and compared to literature dat...

Description
Summary:This paper reports a new thermogravimetric (TG) technique. Gases evolved during TG runs are analyzed for flammability characteristics including chemical heat release rate. Computations for two composites (glass-polyphenylene sulfide and graphite-phenolic) are presented and compared to literature data.
