Abstract

ABSTRACT

When the intensity of thermal radiation is greater than a certain value, the total incident energy required to produce the disintegration of a fabric increases with increasing intensity of irradiation, i.e. with decreasing exposure time. This increase in energy has been related to the time lag occurring in the chemical reaction, i.e. the induction period.
