The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a powerful and robust numerical tool for the
simulation of multi-physics problems in evolving domains. The PFEM exploits the …

For decades, a wide variety of products have benefitted from the use of flexible PVC, ranging
from healthcare to cable to packaging & household items. The uniqueness of PVC rises from …

Silica-epoxy nanocomposites were prepared via an “in-situ” sol-gel synthesis process and a
phosphorus (P) flame-retardant ie 6H-dibenz [c, e][1, 2] oxaphosphorin, 6-[(1-oxido-2, 6, 7 …

To improve the fire retardancy of epoxy resins, researchers use modifiers such as graphene,
phosphorus, boron compounds or similar compatible fillers. The quantity of modifiers …

Experimental study and three-dimensional simulation of warming up, ignition, and
subsequent burning out of the composite material impacted by the attached Bunsen burner …

Abstract Polyamide 4.6 (PA46) is a high‐heat‐resistant polymer, but it has no dripping
resistance under fire. Three commercial grades of PA46 are investigated under UL 94 …

The increasing use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier has underscored the necessity for
advanced materials that can provide safe storage under extreme conditions. Carbon fiber …

The behavior of the cable jacket in fire characterized by the tendency to melt and drip
constitutes a major source of fire hazard. The reason is that the melted material may convey …

The dripping behaviour of polymers is often observed experimentally through the UL94
flammability standard test. In this work, polymeric dripping under fire is investigated …

Two novel flame retardant and anti‐dripping PE films were successfully synthesized in three
steps. PE‐g‐GMA film was first prepared by simultaneous electron beam irradiation to graft …
