β¦ Synopsis
This work studies a polypropylene/ammonium polyphosphate/polyurethane intumescent 5re retardant material. It reports the foaming expansion under a normal strain and the variation of the apparent viscosity of the heat-treated material measured using a plate}plate rheometer. The loss of the protective character of the intumescent coating is discussed. It is proposed that it is related to a limited foaming expansion value, an increase of its apparent initial viscosity and a decrease of this viscosity with time when a normal force and a sinusoidal strain are both applied. The changes in the dynamic properties of the system are explained by the chemistry of the intumescence process.

The calculation of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of a polymer from its rheological properties is an attractive method since rheological measurements are comparatively faster and cheaper than the classical gel permeation chromatography technique (GPC). The calculation, however, still has so
