Abstract
A study was made of natural and synthetic polymeric materials, with emphasis placed on the compositure, structure, geometry and relation to processing, as well as emphasis on the end-use component or structure. Smoke and toxic substances, as well as other products of combustion, were looked as to the effect on human safety.
