Abstract

The problem of the delayed crosslinking arising due to the diffusion of a crosslinker molecule from a vector particle within a thermoset polymer matrix is discussed. The crosslinker molecules, initially embedded in the vector particles, diffuse from the particle to the polymer matrix and react with the functional groups grafted to polymer chains. The two‐step diffusion crosslink kinetics is studied theoretically on the example of polyethylene functionalized with anhydride groups reacting with 1,4‐butanediol as a crosslinker molecule. This provides the independent of time limiting distribution functions of the concentration of crosslinks, unreacted and intermediate functional groups, which are shown to be rather sensitive to system parameters as rates of chemical reactions, ratio of diffusion coefficients of matrix to vector particles, stoichiometric composition of the reactive groups, etc. The nonmonotonic distribution of the crosslink concentration around the vector particles at certain range of the parameters is revealed. magnified image

This paper reviews the current literature on the behaviour of thermoset polymers under fire conditions. These polymers are important and widely used materials. They are generally infusible and insoluble, and consist, on the molecular scale, of extensive cross-linked networks rather than discrete mac
