The Study of Fire Reaction and Fire Resistance of Composite Materials

This presentation is to deal with “The Study of Fire Reaction and Fire Resistance of Composite Materials”. Many efforts have been devoted for assessing and reducing fire hazards. The fire properties of various composite materials have been analyzed and it depends on the combustion mechanisms of the composites such as the reaction rates, smoke and toxic gases of organic polymers and fibers and flammable volatiles, ignition time, heat release rate. The fire resistive properties of composite materials are also mentioned like burn-through rate and mechanical withstands during and after the fire. A diverse range of composite materials used in automotive interiors of land, marine and also in aerospace. Also in chemical industries and mechanical and civil engineering infrastructures. In response to the increasing fire hazards in transportation systems causing fatal to life, lots of research work is being carried out across the world. So, the main aim of our project to develop p hybrid composite m aterials that offers fire resistance properties when it is subjected to fire up to an extent possible in very innovative and challenging and thought provoking process
