abstract="A mathematical model is described for the behaviour of polymer combustion with char formation in thermally-thick conditions. A non-competitive single-step reaction is used, converting the polymer to char and volatiles. By examining this model numerically, the ignition behaviour of this system can be expressed as a function of the char yield. This simplified analytical approach yields good agreement with the numerical solution.<p />",
