Nonlinear Binder Decomposition in Composites at High Temperatures

On the basis of experimental values for the temperatures and densities at the onset and end of binder decomposition in various composites, a universal law for binder decomposition in composites is proposed. Without the need for chemical kinetics, which is generally difficult to formalize, this law may be used in the mathematical modeling of heat-shielding composites under high-temperature loads.
