Composites In Fire 2
(12 - 13 September 2001, Centre for Composite Materials Engineering, University of Newcastle, UK)
Following the success of the first conference, this meeting discussed new developments, new standards and the implications of the SBI test, the response of composite structures to different fire scenarios, the principles of property modification through additives and design, and regulatory aspects.
