Flame - Retardant Polymeric Materials [E-Book] : Volume 3 / edited by Menachem Lewin, S. M. Atlas, Eli M. Pearce
Flammability has been recognized as an increasingly important social and scientific problem. Fire statistics in the United States (Report on the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control, "America Burning," 1973) emphasized the vast devastation to life and property-12,000 lives lo...
