The distribution of the temperature and the morphology of the charred material formed in the combustion of blends of poly(phenylene ether) (PPE) with high impact polystyrene (HIPS), carried out in the UL94 test, were examined. The effect of the fire retardant triphenyl phosphate is shown to be the decrease of time of burning, of temperature of the specimen and of zone involved in combustion, without apparent modification of the char structure. Hypothesis on gas and condensed phase fire retardant mechanisms are discussed.read more

Thermal and Flame Resistant Properties of Poly (Lactic Acid)/Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) Blends Containing Halogen-free Flame Retardant
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of triaryl phosphate ester flame retardant on the thermal and flame resistant properties of PLA/PMMA blend was studied. And the results revealed that the inclusion of FR has shorten the afterflame time and improved dripping behavior of PLA and PMMA blend, achieving V-0 ranking in the test.

Flame retardation by phosphorus compounds
TL;DR: The author outlines some approaches based upon isotope exchange measurements which reveal detailed steps in enzyme catalyzed reactions, which he hopes will be of value if it illustrates how better understanding of some problems was gained, and if it aids in the recognition and solution of new problems.
