6th July, the final day of the conference will focus on flammability and fire resistance of fibre-reinforced composites. This day amalgamates the ‘Composites in Fire’ conference, organized previously every three years from 1996 to 2011 in UK by Prof Geoff Gibson. You can register for the final day here.
