Flammability of flax plant fractions: a whole-plant study from micro- to bench-scale
The flammability of a large set of 7 flax plant fractions, namely roots, shives, scutched fibres, tows, fines, seeds and capsules, has been studied using pyrolysis-combustion flow calorimetry and cone calorimetry in order to characterize the most performant fractions in terms of fire reaction. In addition, scutched fibres from twelve flax varieties with different growth locations and retting conditions have been considered to assess the variability of flammability properties and understand the scattering of results observed in the literature. The fines, produced in small amounts and rich in minerals, are the least flammable fraction, with a low heat release (6.1 kJ/g after anaerobic pyrolysis at microscale) and a high content of mineral-enriched residue (45 wt %). On the contrary, seeds release a large amount of energy (19.6 kJ/g) during combustion due to their oil-rich composition (> 30 wt %). In addition, variables such as flax variety, growth location and retting have a significant influence on the flammability properties of scutched fibres although the respective contributions of these factors cannot be easily discriminated.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
