Investigations have been carried out on the effects of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide on the thermal degradation of polystyrene. The results have been correlated with the effects of the additives on the flammability of and smoke production from the polymer. Both metal compounds are extremel
## Abstract Addition of red phosphorus in concentrations of about 4% to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) reduces the flammability of that polymer. The rates of flame propagation and the ignitability are reduced, while the oxygen index (O.I.) is increased. The surface temperature of burning PET am
Radiation effects on the formation of conjugated double bonds in the thermal degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated. Thin films of PVC and PVA were either irradiated with โฅ-rays at ambient temperature (pre-irradiation) and then subjected to thermal
