Conclusions<br />

• <strong>Bubbling</strong> behavior in thermoplastic materials<br />

exposed to fire is highly complex<br />

– First principle modeling has a long way to go<br />

• Because <strong>of</strong> insulating layer and direct impact on<br />

mass loss rate, bubble behavior at surface is critical<br />

– Bursting, coalescence, nucleation, approach to interface<br />

– Need to include radiation effects
