Publisher's Synopsis
In no category of materials is fire safety more important than in textiles - materials used in clothing, home furnishings, and automotive and other transportation interiors. This new volume provides reports by FR specialists on the fire behavior and fire retardance of textiles presented at a recent conference of the Textile Institute (UK). A wide range of important current topics is covered, as seen by the table of contents below. The concluding review article by Richard Horrocks of the Bolton Institute will be of special interest to all those working in this area of technology.
