POSS modified cellulose for improving flammability characteristics of polystyrene

April 2, 2010
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Mauro Zammarano, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Jieun Lee, Eric Balsley, Erica Ford
Due to its strength, charring ability, and biodegradability, cellulose-based reinforced polymers have received considerable attention. However, its high polarity, large molecular size, and solvent resistivity, have often resulted in immiscible or

Heat release and structural collapse of flexible polyurethane foam

January 1, 2010
Author(s)
Roland H. Kraemer, Mauro Zammarano, Gregory T. Linteris, Ulf W. Gedde, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Flexible polyurethane foam used in upholstered furniture remains one of the major fire hazards to date. The heat release rate of burning items made of foam depends strongly on the foam's physical behavior, notably its collapse to a burning liquid that can

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FIRE SPREAD ON POLYURETHANE FOAM SLABS

March 17, 2009
Author(s)
Kuldeep R. Prasad, Roland Kramer, Nathan D. Marsh, Marc R. Nyden, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, William M. Pitts, Mauro Zammarano
The NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is used extensively by the fire protection engineer for performance based design and forensic analysis. The equations of motion describing the gas phase are relatively well known and the approximations in the various

Preparation and Flame Resistance Properties of Revolutionary Self-Extinguishing Epoxy Nanocomposites Based on Layered Double Hydroxides

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Massimiliano Franceschi, S Bellayer, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Sergio Meriani
Layered double hydroxides/epoxy nanocomposites (LDHs/EP) were prepared from organo modified LDHs, a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A monomer (DGEBA) and amine curing agents. The organomodified LDHs were obtained by ionic exchange of a magnesium-aluminum
