This new volume in the book series New Concepts in PolymerScience focuses on the problem of creating materials with reducedcombustibility as well as the use of polymeric materials for protectionfrom fire or overheating. The majority of polymeric materials arecombustible, which has led to the development of polymers, and materialsbased on these, with reduced combustibility. However the combustibilitydegree or their ability to protect from fire or high temperature can beindicated only in particular cases of combustion.
In this volume the results of the development of physicochemical basesfor creating organic polymeric materials with reduced combustibility,which are capable of protecting against high temperatures are discussed.A presentation of chlorinated polyolefins as organic polymers withreduced combustibility is also given.
This book will be of value and interest to students, postgraduates,engineers and scientists, working in the field of materials science andengineering, and especially to those who deal with the creation of newpolymeric materials for aviation, ship building and automobileconstruction or manufacture.
