- Abstract
- The suggestion is made that combustion inhibition of the type observed with the use of most halogenated hydrocarbons is due to a two-step process: (1) negative ions and free radicals are formed by dissociative electron attachment with the inhibitior molecules, and then (2) these negative ions and/or free radicals react with the free radicals found in flames.
