Thermal Degradation and Fire Behavior of High Performance Polymers

Abstract

High performance and high temperature polymers are a class of polymeric materials exhibiting high thermal stability and their resistance to fire makes them valuable assets for many applications. Those applications include as typical examples high temperature gas separation membranes, automotive and aerospace industry as well as the construction industry. The high performance polymers have been synthesized since the early 1960s, and have developed rapidly over the past few decades. Most high performance polymers comprise a highly aromatic backbone, linear chains, and strong inter-chain interactions. This review deals mostly with commercial polymeric materials. Studies regarding their thermal behavior, degradation mechanism and their reaction to fire have been synthetically combined in order to bring out potential insight concerning the effect of the thermal decomposition and thermal behavior on the fire properties of those polymers.     

离子色谱法分析火灾烟气成分的完善

建立了离子色谱法分析火灾烟气成分的方法。样品用去离子水和氢氧化钠溶液配制,采用0.45μm的滤膜过滤2~3次后,配制成样品溶液,稀释适当倍数后进样分析,采用电导检测器进行检测。各阴离子在1.0~50.0mg/L范围内与色谱峰面积均呈现良好的线性关系,相关系数均大于0.999,方法的检出限在0.06~0.1 mg/L之间。方法的加标回收率在86.0%~110%之间,测定结果的相对标准偏差为0.5%~9.0%(n=5)。该方法简便快捷,选择性好,灵敏度高,可满足火灾烟气成分的分析要求。     

Blended-fuel based EDC combustion model and its application in heptane-ethanol fire simulation

The blended-fuel based eddy-dissipation-concept combustion model was newly developed in the FireFOAM framework, and applied to simulate 30 cm×30 cm heptane-ethanol pool fire. Comparison was made of fire height, centerline temperature against experimental measurements, which shows that they match very well with each other. However, further studies are needed to examine the validation of this model in fire simulations with various scales.

Influence of Carbon Nanotubes on Phase Composition,Thermal and Post-Heating Behavior of Cementitious Composites

This paper experimentally investigates the influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on phase composition, microstructure deterioration, thermal behavior, and residual mechanical strengths of cementitious composites exposed to elevated temperatures. Cement mortars with small dosages of CNTs, 0.05% and 0.2% by weight of cement, were prepared and then heated at 25 °C, 150 °C, 200 °C, 450 °C, and 600 °C for two hours before being tested. The results show positive impact of the CNTs on the hydration process of cement mortar at room temperature and at higher temperatures up to 200 °C. Decomposition of the hydration products is obvious at 450 °C, whereas sever deterioration in the microstructure occurs at 600 °C. The nano reinforcement and bridging effect of the CNTs are obvious up to 450 °C. Thermal behavior characterization shows that CNTs incorporation enhances the thermal conductivity of the unheated and heat-treated mortar specimens. The decomposition of the hydration products needs more heat in the presence of CNTs. Finally, presence of CNTs significantly enhances the residual compressive and flexural strengths of heated mortar specimens for all studied temperatures.     

轴心受压H型截面钢柱火灾行为的试验研究

本文对4根H型截面钢柱进行了火灾行为的试验研究。全部火灾试验采用自行研制的火灾试验炉,试验结果表明炉子性能稳定,使用方便。试验采用足尺试验形式,柱长3300mm。钢柱轴心受压,其中两个限制轴向变形,另两个不限制轴向变形。柱两端采用单向刀口支座,允许钢柱绕强轴转动。钢柱试验中考虑荷载大小和是否限制轴向变形两个因素。通过试验,得出了钢柱在火灾下的侧向变形和轴向变形随温度变化情况。试验证明:钢柱受火时,轴向变形明显的分为膨胀阶段和压缩阶段。压缩阶段很短,一旦进入压缩阶段,钢柱很快破坏。钢柱受到的外加荷载越大,其极限温度越低。限制轴向变形的钢柱极限温度降低。试验研究为今后钢结构火灾行为研究提供了依据。     

建筑物内火灾烟羽流和顶蓬射流诱发的空气运动盐水模拟实验研究

盐水在清水中的扩散与火灾烟气在空气中的蔓延相似，因而可用盐水的扩散来模拟火灾烟气的蔓延；同样地，由于盐水的扩散而导致的环境清水的运动也可用来模拟烟气蔓延诱发的空气运动。基于这一原理，本文用实验的方法，研究了建筑物内初起火灾产生的烟羽流和顶蓬射流所诱发的空气运动，并对走廊空气层生长规律和运动特性进行了初步的测量和分析。所得结果基本合理，对建筑物通风排烟及疏散通道设计有帮助，从而为建筑火灾环境空气的运动的实验研究开辟了新的思路，也为火灾区域模拟提供了实验依据
