  1. Pyrolysis kinetics and combustion of thin wood using advanced cone calorimetry test method

    Mechanistic pyrolysis kinetics analysis of extractives, holocellulose, and lignin in solid wood over entire heating regime was possible using specialized cone calorimeter test and new mathematical analysis tools. Added hardware components include: modified sample holder for thin specimen with tiny thermocouples, methane ring burner with stainless steel mesh above cone...

  2. In-situ cure monitoring of isocyanate adhesives using microdielectric analysis

    Recent advances in microelectronics have produced small electrodes that can be used for remote dielectric measurements. These miniature sensors are small enough to be embedded in a composite panel during manufacture with little disturbance to the manufacturing process. Small particleboard panels (5 by 4.5 by 0.25 in.) were manufactured with 6 percent polymeric...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

  6. 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...
