Abstract:
This report provides an overview of polymer flammability from a material science perspective and describes currently accepted test methods to quantify burning behavior. Simplifying assumptions about the gas and condensed phase processes of flaming combustion provide mathematical relationships between polymer properties, chemical structure, flame resistance, and fire behavior that can be used to design fire resistant plastics.
This report provides an overview of the research being conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop fire safe cabin materials for...
In the crowded, confined environment of a rapid transit vehicle, it is essential that smoke emission from all sources be minimized. The adoption of te...
