In order to improve the fire retardancy of wood eco-friendly method for<italic>in situ</italic>formation CaCO<sub>3</sub>deep inside wood's structure was proposed by vacuum-pressure impregnation only one component – water solution calcium acetoacetate.
Polyurethane foam (PUR) is a lightweight, thermally insulating, widely used, and highly flammable material that has after its use an adverse effect on the environment, i.e., PUR disposal considered hazardous. Its flammability can be mitigated using various fire retardants, but they do not change hazardous nature of waste PUR. Therefore, in current study, with without flame retardants based N P was incorporated into geopolymer, alkali-activated (AAM) solely metakaolin, to evaluate potential...
The demand for construction timber is continuously increasing, due to its favourable characteristics. However, the adequate protection of wood key successful use, as it flammable and susceptible biodegradation. Given that thermal modification enhances durability wood, mineralisation with CaCO3 considerably improves fire properties, worth considering combined effects two methods.European beech (Fagus sylvatica) was selected determine a) modification, b) through in-situ formation CaCO3, c) a...
In the presented work, influence of two flame retardants-ammonium polyphosphates and 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine on polyurethane foam (PUR) systems were studied. this paper, these interactive properties are studied by using thermal analytical techniques, TGA DTA, which enable various transitions associated volatilization to be connection results with mechanical analysis, as conductivities, compression bending behavior, hardness, flammability, surface morphology. way, a greater...
The effects of selected printing parameters on the fire properties additively produced composites from neat polylactic acid (PLA) and wood/PLA filaments were investigated. reaction to 3D-printed specimens was tested according ISO 5660-1 cone calorimeter test method. results showed that when exposed significantly affected by incorporation wood flour into PLA filament. It also interesting had much better reactions than specimens. Time ignition found be longer in Although maximal heat release...
Al(OH) 3 nanoparticles (ATH NPs) and phosphorylated cellulose nanofibrils (PCNFs) were used as user-friendly comfortable coating components on flame-retardant fabric to improve its thermophysiological comfort high-intensive heat protection properties. The effect of the PCNF imprinting attachment after post-printing a hydrophobic polyacrylate (AP) same (back side) or other (front) side fabric, with without addition ATH NPs, was considered, maintain front (facing wearer) hydrophilic while...
Abstract The article investigates the charring and char front temperature of beech, most widespread hardwood species in Central Europe. current Eurocode standard EN 1995-1-2 specifies to be 300 $$^{\circ }$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mo>∘</mml:mo> </mml:mmultiscripts> </mml:math> C, albeit this determination primarily applies softwood species. Consequently, aims examine whether assumption beech. Through advanced...
Summary The ISO 5660‐1 cone calorimeter is an affordable, practical, and commonly used solution for the measurement of main fire properties products materials. Among its chief drawbacks limited ability to reproduce combustion conditions found in real fires. This deficiency mainly due inability control oxygen availability order simulate underventilated fire. As several toxic or potentially species are formed primarily oxygen‐poor conditions, controlled atmosphere (CACC), now defined 5660‐5, a...
Abstract The demand for construction timber is continuously increasing, due to its excellent mechanical properties, renewable nature and easy accessibility. As it flammable susceptible biodegradation, however, the adequate protection of wood key successful use. Given that thermal modification enhances durability wood, mineralisation with CaCO 3 considerably improves fire worth considering synergistic effects two methods combined. European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) was selected this study...
