Polymer Combustion and Flammability-role of the Condensed Phase*

The combustion process of polymers is a complex coupling of energy feedback from a flame to the polymer surface with gasification of the polymer to generate combustible degradation products. Although there are extensive studies of the effects of wind velocity, gas phase oxygen concentration, external thermal radiation, and gravity on the combustion of polymers, the effects of polyruer character...

Radiation Degradation and Stability of Polymer

In recent years, because of the advantage of radiation technology-low energy, clean, environmental protection, etc., so that the use of radiation technology for polymer synthesis or processing research continues to heat up; however polymer materials irradiated via high-energy radiation prone to produce free group or to react with atomic oxygen in the air, resulting in the material cracking, cro...

Stability/degradation of polymer solar cells

Polymer and organic solar cells degrade during illumination and in the dark. This is in contrast to photovoltaics based on inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Long operational lifetimes of solar cell devices are required in real-life application and the understanding and alleviation of the degradation phenomena are a prerequisite for successful application of this new and promising techno...
