Citations in the corpus

• Application of genetic algorithms and thermogravimetry to determine the kinetics of polyurethane foam in smoldering combustion (2006, background): “PU foam is a major fire-safety concern [3, 7, 8] due to its relatively low ignition resistance, being a common fire-ignition source through smoldering combustion and a latter transition to flaming combustion.”
• Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Textiles (2008, background): “The flame retarding of polyurethane foam has been reviewed by the present authors [156,157].”
• Structural engineering of polyurethane coatings for high performance applications (2007, background): “Other example includes the reaction products of boric acid with 1,3-butanediol [3], monoethanolamine [429] and epichlorohydrin [430].”
