Donskoi, M. A. Shashkina (both: Institute of Aviation Materials, Moscow) and G. E. Zaikov (biochemical physics, Russian Academy of Sciences) take advantage of the relatively freer publishing climate in post-Soviet Russia to present data on the development of polymeric materials with reduced combustibility that can be used for heat shields in aviation. They focus on chlorinated polyolefins as organic polymers. The study might interest graduate students, engineers, and scientists working in material science and engineering, especially those dealing with new polymeric materials for aircraft, ships, or automobiles.

This new volume in the book series New Concepts in Polymer Science focuses on the problem of creating materials with reduced combustibility as well as the use of polymeric materials for protection from fire or overheating. The majority of polymeric materials are combustible, which has led to the development of polymers, and materials based on these, with reduced combustibility. However the combustibility degree or their ability to protect from fire or high temperature can be indicated only in particular cases of combustion.In this volume the results of the development of physicochemical bases for creating organic polymeric materials with reduced combustibility, which are capable of protecting against high temperatures are discussed. A presentation of chlorinated polyolefins as organic polymers with reduced combustibility is also given.
