Improving Flame Resistance of Aircraft Interiors via Polymeric Nanocomposite Fibers

Zaara Ali, Emanuel Andrade, Eylem Asmatulu.

Abstract
A growing number of flying hours dictates an improved safety level of crew, staff, passengers, and valuable assets. Improved material usage in the interior, as well as the structure of the airplane, is crucial. Flame-resistant electrospun polymeric nanofiber usage may improve safety and the anticipated impacts in manufacturing the structural parts. Historically, many aircraft accidents have been exacerbated by fires, leading to significant loss of life and property. Traditional materials, such as textiles and polymers used in aircraft cabins, are prone to fire hazards. Recent advances in materials science, particularly the development of polymeric nanocomposite fibers, offer promising solutions to improve flame resistance while maintaining the necessary lightweight and durable properties for aircraft interiors. This comprehensive analysis examines the integration of flame-retardant elements into polymers, offering insights into the development of innovative electrospun nanofibers specifically engineered to meet stringent flame retardancy standards for aviation applications.

Key words: Fire resistance, composite, Polyetheretherketone, polyimide, polyether ketone, electrospinning, aircraft fires.
