Thermal analysis of cotton samples grafted with triallylphosphate (TAP) and 2,2,2-tribromoethyl acrylate (TBEA) was carried out. Grafting of poly-TAP causes a significant decrease in the decomposition temperature of cotton. The cotton decomposition is acid catalyzed by H3PO4 formed during the decomposition of the grafted poly-TAP. The HBr evolved during decomposition was monitored continuously during thermal analysis of cotton grafted with poly-TBEA. No significant flame-retarding effect by HBr was found. Since grafted poly-TBEA causes a decrease in the decomposition temperature of cotton, it is suggested that the flame retardant mechanism for poly-TBEA in cotton occurs mainly in the solid phase before most of the HBr is released.

Abstract As a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Israel is committed to develop a national inventory of anthropogenic emissions and removals of greenhouse gases. This paper presents the national inventory, which was developed according to the guidelines of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The inventory includes the following sectors: energy, industrial processes, agriculture, forestry and waste. In this paper, only the inventory of the direct greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) is presented. Emissions of these gases were converted to CO2 equivalent emissions by means of their Global Warming Potentials (a measure of the radiative effects of the different gases relatively to CO2). CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels to produce energy are by far the largest source (50 million tons in 1996). The contribution of methane emissions from decomposition of landfilled municipal solid waste is second in importance (8 million tons of CO2 equivalent). Industrial processes emit about 2 million tons CO2 equivalent, the most important process being cement production. Agricultural emissions amount to about 2 million tons CO2 equivalent and are due to soil emissions of nitrous oxide, methane emissions from enteric fermentation in domestic livestock and N2O and CH4 emissions from animal waste management. Although most forests in Israel are in a growing stage and atmospheric CO2 is therefore removed to form biomass, this removal amounts to 0.4 million tons only and is very small as compared to emissions from other sectors. On a per capita basis, Israel's emissions of CO2 from fuel combustion are not far behind those of some of the most developed countries.

Ionizing radiation was employed to graft bromostyrene (BSy) onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric. The fire-retardant effect of the polymerized monomer on PET fabric was evaluated both by LOI tests and by DTA and TGA methods under conditions of controlled total combustion. The yields of HBr and BSy evolved during pyrolysis in the presence and absence of oxygen were determined. A linear correlation was found between ΔOI values and yields of HBr, and the implications of this finding are discussed. It is suggested on the strength of DTA and TGA results under total combustion conditions that the fire-retardant effect of poly(bromostyrene) manifests itself mainly by a physical-mode mechanism through a significant reduction in the release of flammable gases.

The kinetics of the gamma-radiation-induced free radical chain reaction in solutions of C2Cl3F in cyclohexane (RH) was investigated over a temperature range of 87.5-200°C. The following rate constants and rate constant ratios were determined for the reactions: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{\rm (2a)}} & {{\rm R} + {\rm C}_{\rm 2} {\rm Cl}_{\rm 3} {\rm F} \to {\rm RCClFCCl}_{\rm 2}} \\ \end{array}$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {(2{\rm b})} & \to \\ \end{array}{\rm RCCl}_{\rm 2} {\rm CClF}$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{*{20}c}{{\rm (3a)}} & {{\rm RCClFCCl}_{\rm 2} \to {\rm RCF}}\\ \end{array}{\raise1pt\hbox{$\Relbar \kern-4pt{\Relbar}$}}{\rm CCl}_{\rm 2} + {\rm Cl}$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{\rm (4a)}} & {{\rm RCClFCCl}_{\rm 2} + {\rm RH} \to {\rm RCClFCCl}_{\rm 2} {\rm H} + {\rm R}} \\ \end{array}$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log {\rm }k_{2a} ({\rm mole}^{{\rm - 1}} 1.\,{\rm sec}^{{\rm - 1}}) = (8.64 \pm 0.35) - (6.38 \pm 0.41)/\theta ^1$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log {\rm }k_{{\rm 2b}} /k_{{\rm 2a}} = (- 0.03 \pm 0.15) - (2.39 \pm 0.28)/\theta$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log {\rm (}k_{3{\rm a}} /k_{4{\rm a}})({\rm mole}\,1.^{{\rm - 1}}) = (6.17 \pm 0.10) - (10.14 \pm 0.18)/\theta$$\end{document} In competitive experiments in ternary solutions of C2Cl4 and C2Cl3F in cyclohexane the rate constant ratio k2c/k2a was determined \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{\rm (2c)}} & {{\rm R} + {\rm C}_{\rm 2} {\rm Cl}_{\rm 4} \to {\rm RC}_{\rm 2} {\rm Cl}_{\rm 4}} \\ \end{array}$$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log {\rm }k_{{\rm 2c}} /k_{{\rm 2a}} = (0.13 \pm 0.06) - (1.20 \pm 0.12)/\theta$$\end{document} By comparing with previous data for the addition of cyclohexyl radicals to other chloroethylenes it is shown that in certain cases the trends in activation energies for cyclohexyl radical addition can be correlated with the C—Cl bond dissociation energies in the adduct radicals.
