The authors explain the changes in the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of polymer composites under elevated temperatures and fire conditions. Using microscale physical and chemical concepts they allow researchers to find reliable solutions to their engineering needs on the macroscale. In a unique combination of experimental results and quantitative models, a framework is developed to realistically predict the behavior of a variety of polymeric materials over a wide range of thermal and mechanical loads. In addition, the authors treat worst-case scenarios, presenting heat-protection methods to improve the fire resistance of composite materials, and discuss their performance after fire exposure.
Thanks to the microscopic approach, the developed models are valid for a variety of polymer composites, making this work applicable to a wide audience, including materials scientists, polymer chemists, engineering scientists in industry, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and those working in the chemical industry.
Yu Bai received his civil engineering and MSc degrees from Tsinghua University, China, and his PhD from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He has worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Composite Construction Laboratory (CCLab) of the EPFL before becoming lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering of Monash University, Australia. His research interests lie in the fields of fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials with a focus to their performance under extreme conditions such as elevated temperatures.
Thomas Keller obtained his civil engineering degree his doctoral degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. In 2007, he was appointed Full Professor of Structures at the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. In addition, Thomas Keller is founder and director of the Composite Construction Laboratory (CCLab). His research work is focused on polymer composites and hybrid materials and engineering structures with an emphasis on lightweight multifunctional structures.
