Overview

Experiment reveals improved fire resistance and thermal stability in viscoelastic foams, highlighting interactions of additive and reactive flame retardants.

Key Points

  • The incorporation of flame retardants improved fire resistance dramatically, achieving UL-94 V0 ratings.
  • Limiting oxygen index increased to 28–31%, indicating improved flame resistance compared to the reference foam.
  • Mechanical performance changes were linked to structural variations observed under scanning electron microscopy.
  • Analysis methods included thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry to track thermal stability.
