PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBONACEOUS PRODUCTS FROM FIRE AND FIRE RETARDANTS: ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT ON FIRE PERFORMANCE

摘要

In fire research and safety, it is crucial to understand the kinetics and processes behind the fire phenomenon and the response of materials exposed to it. One should examine the two components of fire: the flame itself and the materials burning in order to assess the fire performance. Those two components can be examined separately or together, depending on the topic and the research interests such as fire spread~1, chemical and physical kinetics(~2, 3), etc.
