Ecole des Mines d’Alès
José-Marie Lopez-Cuesta, Ecole des Mines d’Alès, France, presented lab-scale studies of emissions from polyamide 6 containing various inorganic nano-additives (carbon nano tubes, silica, clays: sepolite, hallyosite, organo-monmorionite). Nano-particles are emitted at the start of fire, and in some cases also during the developed fire, or are found in soot and tar balls.
