On Monday 16th May, a series of courses and practical demonstrations will be proposed in conjunction with ECOFRAM conference. These courses are intended for students, academics and/or industrials interested in expand their knowledge about the fire behaviour of materials. They include the following topics:
- Basics of fire
- Main families of fire retardants
- Main parameters to study polymers fire reaction
- Specificity of biobased materials fire behaviour
- Focus on the cone calorimeter (practical demonstrations)
- Learning using gas analysis by different coupling methods
Free courses, a small fee of 20 euros for the lunch is requested. Inscription is needed for organization purpose. The number of places is limited.
Abstract Submission for poster and oral presentations: Deadline 15th March 2022.
