A stopwatch or other device must be used to measure the time of flame application and the time of flame penetration, if it occurs.
The LbL-treated fabrics have been subjected to flammability (reaction to flame application) and combustion (reaction to different external heat fluxes) tests.
Thus, in the present work, the performances of coatings consisting of pure silica and phosphorus-doped silica have been investigated and compared by using thermogravimetry and combustion tests (more specifically, resistance to an irradiative heat flux and to a flame application).
The FlaME application itself was developed using Adobe Flash Professional CS4, which provides an integrated development environment.
In view of these results, PP/HNTs nanocomposites prepared using this novel processing route are promising candidates for flame retardant applications.
Because manufacturers are not required to label products with the specific flame retardant applications used, consumers cannot determine if flame retardants are in their products without laboratory testing.
Information on flame retardant applications in specific consumer products could help elucidate human exposure pathways and provide more insight into sources of flame retardants detected in the environment.
