Polymer/layered silicate (clay) nanocomposites: An overview of flame retardancy (2010, methodology): “The higher level of smoke generation recorded for some nanocomposites may be explained by the greater extent of secondary dehydrogenation reactions promoted in the presence of silicates, leading to the formation and evolution of aromatic and carbonaceous compounds [18,75,102,109].”
Nanocomposites Derived from Polymers and Inorganic Nanoparticles (2010, background): “A major challenge in polymer science is to broaden the application window of such materials by retaining the above features while enhancing particular characteristics such as modulus, strength, fire performance and heat resistance [3].”
The influence of crude glycerol and castor oil-based polyol on the structure and performance of rigid polyurethane-polyisocyanurate foams (2017, methodology): “Typically, analyzed material is subjected to heat irradiation with intensity similar to that experienced in fire situation, from 25 to 75 kW/m2 (Berta et al., 2006).”
