Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Jieun Lee, Mauro Zammarano, Dimi Katsoulis, Donald V. Eldred, Luke Haverhals, Paul C. Trulove, Hugh C. De Long, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Cellulose-reinforced composites have received much attention due to their structural reinforcing, light weight, biodegradable, non-toxic, low cost and recyclable characteristics. However, the tendency for cellulose to aggregate and its poor dispersion in

Flexible polyurethane foam with well characterized and reproducible smoldering

March 24, 2012
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Szabolcs Matko, Rick D. Davis, Roland H. Kraemer
Smoldering is a self-sustaining heterogeneous oxidation reaction that induces a slow, low temperature, flameless combustion.1 Flexible polyurethane foams (PUF) are particularly prone to smoldering due to their high air permeability and low density. In this
