Abstract
Fire, mechanical and thermal properties of novel fire retardant compos ites developed in the BRITE-EURAM 4412 Programme have been assessed wi th typical materials currently used in aerospace, such as epoxy based materials for structural parts and phenolic based materials for intern al furnishing. These newly developed materials (neat resins and compos ites) present a significant improvement in their properties from 40 to 70% without loss of thermal and mechanical behaviour (C) 1996 Elsevie r Science Limited
