Abstract
The incorporation of polysilicic acid into the structure of a cellulos ic fibre enhances the fire resistance of the hybrid by two distinct me chanisms. One is the formation on the fibre surface of an inherently i ncombustible char, and the other is a lowering of the temperature at w hich water is released from the fibre. This paper examines the mechani sms in question.
