About the Book

This book offers an important updated to Horrocks and Price’s Fire retardant materials. It provides the reader with a comprehensive account of the advances that have occurred in fire science in relation to materials. The manufacture of fire retardant materials is an active area of research, the understanding of which can improve safety, as well as the marketability of a product. Part 1 includes a short overview of the fundamentals of fire hazards and risks. Part 2 reviews recent advances of fire retardancy in specific materials. Part 3 is dedicated to specific applications within the field. The book provides essential information for all those concerned with fire retardancy.
