This paper describes the evaluation of the flame resistance for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) composites. CFRP composites have the both advantages of lightness and toughness that hardly to find in the same material. Use of CFRP composite has increased dramatically since it was introduced 40 years ago. On the other hand, it is difficult for CFRP to be used in the passenger transportation vehicles such as cars, trains and airplanes without understanding its flameretardancy performance. It is still there is shortening of flameretardancy investigations for CFRP composites. Therefore, in response to the increased demand for a safety of CFRP, which could be used extensively in passenger transportation vehicles in the coming years, we embarked on the fundamental research of CFRP that includes flame retardant. In this research, the flameretardancy of CFRP composites were investigated.
