Fire behavior of polymers: comparative study of Tek wood and Fraké wood on a small scale

Parameters representing the thermal properties of materials are considered to be specific to thermal inertia, and parameters modulating surface heat transfer are considered to be related to thermal inertia.The fire behavior of materials depends on the chemical processes involved in their thermal degradation.For our study of the thermal degradation of wood, various experimental techniques have been described.They generally involve monitoring the mass and/or emission of volatile degradation products as a function of temperature.The calorimeter cone is the technique of choice for studying polymer degradation on a small scale.The cone tests enabled us to assess the fire behavior of a small quantity of our samples, and the results enabled us to compare Frak and Tek woods both physically and Fire behavior
