Abstract
Since textile reinforced composites are being used in more applications as a replacement for metal to enable weight/fuel savings, there is an increasing need to provide fire protection for these materials. In this chapter we will discuss the fire risk scenarios that these composites encounter, and how these materials burn with contributions from polymer and fiber/textile. Flame retardant methods including design, specific chemistries, and fire protection engineering solutions will be discussed as well as the test methodologies used in evaluating these flame retardant products. Finally, the future of fire protection and flame retardant chemistry for polymer composites will be discussed.
