Thermoplastic Composites: Modelling Melting, Decomposition and Combustion of Matrix Polymers

In thermoplastic composites, the polymeric matrix upon exposure to heat may melt, decompose and deform prior to burning, as opposed to the char-forming matrices of thermoset composites, which retain their shape until reaching a temperature at which decomposition and ignition occur. In this work, a t...
