Developing numerical models to predict flammability requires advanced mathematical expertise, IT resources, and realistic input parameters. In this study, we aimed to predict the key flammability parameters based on the chemical structure of the resin matrices and fibre content of composites, providing a potential alternative to costly experimental methods. We employed Random Forest Classifier (RFC), XGBoost algorithms, and an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict key combustion parameters: peak heat release rate (pHRR), time to ignition (TTI), total heat release (THR) and the char residue (CR) solely based on chemical structure of the epoxy matrix and fibre content of the composite. After making the predictions, we assessed the performance of the models using consistent statistical indicators (mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), and the determination parameter (R2)). true true NATIONAL 2026 true true true false true false GOLD 2026-04-27 true https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymdegradstab.2025.111857 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Q1 false false false false 2026-01-05T14:57:27.534+0000 Gyártástudomány és -technológia Tanszék (BME / GPK); HUN-REN-BME Kompozittechnológiai Kutatócsoport (BME / GPK / PT); MTA-BME Lendület Fenntartható Polimerek Kutatóc...
