Crystallization behavior of polyamide-6 microcellular nanocomposites

The crystallization behaviors of polyamide-6 (PA-6) and its nanocomposites undergoing the microcellular injection molding process are studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The relationships among the morphology, the mechanical property of the...

Ignitability of materials in transitional heating regimes

Piloted ignition behavior of materials, particularly wood products, during transitions between heating regimes is measured and modeled in a cone calorimetry (ISO 5660) heating environment. These include (1) effect of material thickness, density, moisture content, and paint coating variations on thermal response characteristics, (2) effect of fire retardant treatment...

Thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of hydroxypropyl cellulose films

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) were used to characterize the morphology of slovent cast hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) films. DSC results were indicative of a semicrystalline material with a melt of 220°C and a glass transition at 19°C (T₁), although an additional event was suggested by a...

Chemical mechanism of fire retardance of boric acid on wood

It is commonly accepted that the fire retardant mechanism of boric acid is a physical mechanism achieved by the formation of a coating or protective layer on the wood surface at high temperature. Although a char-forming catalytic mechanism has been proposed by some researchers, little direct experimental support has been provided for such a chemical mechanism. In this...
