Abstract
The flammability characteristics of natural and synthetic polymeric materials is of broad interest with particular aspects including intumescent coatings, fibers and fabrics, reinforced plastics, elastomers, cellular plastics, and ablative materials. Rapid expansion of plastics in wearing apparel, draperies, carpeting, automotive and aircraft components, and in allied consumer industries, makes it imperative that a better understanding of the flammability characteristics of materials be gained.Keywords
