Description
Analysis of Flame Retardancy in Polymer Science is a scientific/practical book that is conceptualized, designed, and written for students, early-career researchers, and junior engineers to explain the basic principles of fire analysis/characterization methods/methodologies, from flammability, ignition, and fire spread to forced convection and related analyses and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying flame retardancy in both gas and condensed phases followed by correlation between laboratory- and real-scale fire analyses as well as fire analysis from an industrial standpoint. This book is also an indispensable resource for identifying and mounting the latest achievements in fire analysis/characterization methods to frame the effects of fire evaluation strategies to be utilized for research and development. The book also gives a broad description of fire analysis related to different standards and regulations for different applications in different geographic zones.
About the Author
Dr. Henri Vahabi received his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Montpellier, France, in 2011, and is currently working as an Associate Professor at the University of Lorraine, France. His research is focused on thermal degradation, flame retardancy of thermoset and thermoplastics, and development of new flame-retardant systems. He is a committee member of the "Fire group" of the Chemical Society of France. Mohammad Reza Saeb is University Professor at the Department of Polymer Technology, Faculty of Chemistry, Gdansk University of Technology. He conceptualizes processing-microstructure-properties-performance interrelationships in polymer blends and nanocomposites. He also visualizes network formation-network degradation correlation in polymer systems by analyzing cure kinetics, thermal degradation kinetics, and flame retardancy. Giulio Malucelli is Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. His research interests include the investigation of structure-property relationships, the fire behavior of textiles modified by surface-engineered systems, and the design and exploitation of bio-sourced products as effective flame retardants.
