The effect of the carbon–bromine bond type on the limiting oxygen index. II—Polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene

摘要

AbstractFurther evidence has been obtained to suggest that the fire retardation efficiencies of several organo‐bromine compounds, as measured by the limiting oxygen index method, are independent of the type of carbon‐bromine bond, depending almost entirely upon the bromine concentration. Linear regression analysis has confirmed the linearity of the relationship between the limiting oxygen index method and the bromine concentration. The fire retardation efficiency (as measured by the limiting oxygen index method) of the organo‐bromine compounds does, however, depend to a marked extent upon the subs
