Predicting the Burning Rate of Thermally Thin Nylon Using TGA (Thermo Gravity Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter)

Abstract

Given the importance of thermally thin materials in minimizing the fire accidents different properties of Nylon added with montmorillonite (MMT) clay of 5% (thermally thin) are examined in this paper. A simple first order reaction model is considered to minimize the number of unknown parameters. Different Kinetic, Physical, and thermodynamic properties are obtained from DSC and TGA data and are compared for both thermally thick and thin rubbers thereby, proving the importance of thermally thin Nylon.
