Nanoparticle Networks Reduce the Flammability of Polymer Nanocomposites.

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, F Du, J F. Douglas, K I. Winey, Richard H. Harris Jr., John R. Shields
Synthetic polymeric materials are rapidly replacing more traditional inorganic materials, such as metals, and natural polymeric materials, such as wood. As these synthetic materials are flammable, they require modifications to decrease their flammability

Nanoparticle Networks Reduces Flammability of Polymer Nanocomposites

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, F Du, K Winey, Jack F. Douglas, Richard H. Harris Jr., John R. Shields
Synthetic polymer materials are rapidly replacing more traditional materials such as steel, nonferrous metals and natural polymeric materials. Because these novel materials are combustible under certain conditions, their utilization often requires

Numerical Simulation of the Caldecott Tunnel Fire, April 1982

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan
This report documents a study undertaken to estimate the thermal environment of the Caldecott Tunnel during a gasoline spill fire in April 1982. A numerical fire model developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been used to

Open Standards for Homeland Security Sensor Networks

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Mark E. Reichardt
Sensors and networks are key components in building distributed sensor networks nation-wide for detecting weapons of mass destruction and monitoring and protecting critical infrastructure such as airports, bridges, buildings, railways, utility, and water

PARCS: NASAs Laser-Cooled Atomic clock in Space

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Donald Sullivan, Neil Ashby, Elizabeth A. Donley, Thomas P. Heavner, Leo W. Hollberg, Steven R. Jefferts, William Klipstein, David Seidel, D. J. Phillips
The PARCS (Primary Atomic Reference Clock in Space) mission is designed, not only to perform certain tests of relativity theory, but also to demonstrate space-clock technology that may prove useful as an international standard of frequency and time and for

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Flames, in Diesel Fuels, and in Diesel Emissions

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
R Dobbins, Robert A. Fletcher, Bruce A. Benner Jr., S Hoeft
Numerous chemical analyses of gaseous and particulate samples from laboratory flames provide a library of data on the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) species found in diverse flame types burning fuels consisting of pure gaseous hydrocarbons. Diesel

Post-Construction Modification to Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems of the World Trade Center Towers. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-1H)

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
R A. Grill, D A. Johnson
This report was prepared to support the analysis of building and fire codes and standards of the National Institute of Standards and Technology World Trade Center (WTC) Investigation. The purpose of this report is to document the Port Authority of New York
