Most polymers exhibit high flammability and poor degradability, which restrict their applications and causes serious environmental problem like "white pollution".
The R601a working fluid can be used for the high-temperature heat source, however, because of its high flammability, new working fluid should be investigated.
Some of those issues are the high flammability in the presence of oxygen and the traditional physical storage methods using high pressure gas cylinders of up to 800 bar changing its state conditions (pressure, temperature, and phase).
Insulating materials are ubiquitous in modern buildings for improving energy efficiency, but their high flammability becomes a significant fire safety issue.
The extensive abandonment of agricultural lands in the Mediterranean basin has led to large landscapes being dominated by early-successional species, characterized by high flammability and an increasing fire risk.
The twin problems of high flammability and coping with the hazards associated with the smoke produced during burning are only two of an increasing list of demanding specifications which are required for the commercial application of many plastics.
As these grasses shifted to more mesic habitats, their high flammability increased fire frequency, promoting grasslands over woodlands.
While California also banned penta- and octa-PBDEs by 2006 [ 39], the state California maintains the nations highest flammability standards which were enacted in the 1970's [ 40].
If this were so it would be the first evidence of fire-adapted traits occurring among flowering plants as far back as the Cretaceous, a time of high flammability and escalating species diversification rates [ 1, 4].
Acetate and ethanol are possible alternatives but, because of their respective corrosive effects or high flammability, are only used when an exceptional productivity enhancement is achieved (de Swaaf et al. 2003b; de Swaaf et al. 2003c; Ogbonna et al. 1998).
