Fire Safety Aspects of Polymeric Materials. Volume 9. Ships

Abstract

In this volume, the fire safety aspects of polymeric materials used in ships, boats, craft, and devices - both for commercial and military service - are examined, with primary focus on improving fire safety. The study addresses (a) the physical and chemical parameters that influence flammability, smoke, and toxicity; (b) the physical and chemical material combinations that are used; (c) the use of these materials in devices, subsystems and systems; (d) the geometry, position, and environments of the material, and (e) the contribution of the materials to system performance in normal and abnormal modes under fire conditions.
