Characterization of fire safe polymer matrix composites for naval applications

Koo, J.H. / Muskopf, B. / McCord, G. / Van Dine, P. / Spencer, B. / Sorathia, U. / Venumbaka, S.

This paper describes the research and development of advanced fire safe polymeric materials for structural applications inside the pressure hull of Navy submarines. This phase of the work consists of addressing serious technical issues that have limited the use of composites inside submarines. These issues are flammability, smoke, toxic gas emissions, and mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites. Nine glass-reinforced and one carbon-reinforced composites were fabricated. They were tested under the Cone Calorimeter test per MIL-STD2031, "Fire and Toxicity Test Methods and Qualification procedure for Composite Material Systems Used in Hull, Machinery, and Structural Applications Inside Naval Submarines." The characterization of flammability and mechanical properties of these fiber-reinforced composites are included in this paper.
