Hypothesis
Can a bilayered flame retardant treatment using natural biomaterials enhance the fire resistance of wood-based paper?
Conclusion
The study demonstrates that a bilayered flame retardant coating significantly improves the flame retardancy of wood-based paper.
Supporting Evidence
- The limiting oxygen index of treated paper increased from 19.07% to 24.00%.
- The thermogravimetric analysis showed an increase in residual char yield from 23.80% to 38.10%.
- The cone calorimeter test showed a 50% reduction in peak and total heat release rates for treated paper.
Takeaway
This study shows how a special coating made from natural materials can help paper resist catching fire.
Methodology
The study used a self-assembly method to create a bilayered coating on paper using mixed starch, adenosine triphosphate, and phytic acid.
