TL;DR: Ammonium polyphosphate (APP)-based additives and Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles have been incorporated separately or combined at a 15% global percentage in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).
Abstract: Ammonium polyphosphate (APP)-based additives and Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles have been incorporated separately or combined at a 15 wt% global percentage in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). APP–based additive containing melamine phosphate has led to an intumescent behavior during cone calorimeter tests, whereas thermal stability was particularly improved by the use of the oxide nanoparticles. APP with melamine phosphate and Al2O3 combination allowed significant synergism on flame retardance to be achieved, owing to the catalytic action of alumina well-dispersed nanoparticles, which modified the decomposition pathway of PMMA and the formation of a charred and ceramized structure. Aggregation processes in the case of TiO2 seemed to limit the catalytic action of the surface and did not allow synergism for flame retardance to be observed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, the decay half-lives of the recently produced isotopes of the 112, 114, 116 and 118 nuclei and decay products were calculated in the quasi-molecular shape path using the experimental ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ value and a Generalized Liquid Drop Model including the proximity effects between nucleons in the neck or the gap between the nascent fragments.
Abstract: The \ensuremath{\alpha} decay half-lives of the recently produced isotopes of the 112, 114, 116 and 118 nuclei and decay products have been calculated in the quasi-molecular shape path using the experimental ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ value and a Generalized Liquid Drop Model including the proximity effects between nucleons in the neck or the gap between the nascent fragments. Reasonable estimates are obtained for the observed \ensuremath{\alpha} decay half-lives. The results are compared with calculations using the Density-Dependent M3Y effective interaction and the Viola-Seaborg-Sobiczewski formulae. Generalized Liquid Drop Model predictions are provided for the \ensuremath{\alpha} decay half-lives of other superheavy nuclei using the Finite Range Droplet Model ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ and compared with the values derived from the VSS formulae.

TL;DR: In this article, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) measurements in cylindrical inductively coupled plasma (ICP) discharges are reported, focusing on E-to-H mode transition in rare gases (Ar, Kr, Xe).
Abstract: We report optical emission spectroscopy (OES) measurements in cylindrical inductively coupled plasma (ICP) discharges, focusing on E-to-H mode transition in rare gases (Ar, Kr, Xe). The discharge configuration is designed primarily as a radical source for treatment in a high vacuum system, but little is known about its characteristics. Two discharge modes are observed in Ar and Kr on increasing the power injected into the discharge (E-mode at low injected power and H-mode at high injected power). In this paper, we use OES measurements and calculations to infer rare gas discharge characteristics and mode transitions for this geometry in rare gases. It is shown that emission line intensity ratios from the OES signal of a level that is strongly coupled to a metastable state with one whose principal production mechanism is by direct excitation can be used to infer information about the electronic parameters of the discharge.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the nature of carbon nanotubes on the fire behavior of the composites, especially previous MWNTs crushing proved to substantially delay the TTI while maintaining much reduced heat release rate (HRR).
Abstract: Nanocomposites based on an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (27 wt.-% vinyl acetate) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been prepared by melt blending and their thermal degradation and flame retardant properties have been evaluated. Special attention has been paid to the influence of the nanotube nature on the flammability properties and more particularly on the time to ignition (TTI) as measured by cone calorimetry. It has been shown that there is a strong influence of the nature of carbon nanotubes on the fire behaviour of the composites, especially previous MWNTs crushing proved to substantially delay the TTI while maintaining much reduced heat release rate (HRR). Such a remarkable behaviour might be explained by the chemical reactivity of radical species present at the surface/extremities of crushed MWNTs during the combustion process.
