A new method is proposed to calculate the flammability of polymers from their chemical structure using a Van Krevelen approach. The model is inspired from a pioneering work of Lyon which assigns one flammability contribution to each chemical group. The flammability property of the whole polymer is the sum of the contributions of chemical groups constituting the polymer. Two intrinsic properties (namely...
The combustion efficiency of various polymeric materials was studied using a pyrolysis–combustion flow calorimeter (PCFC). Decreasing the combustion temperature in a PCFC leads to partial combustion and lower heat release rates. Combustion efficiency versus combustion temperature was modeled using a phenomenological equation and model parameters were related to the chemical structures of eight pure...
