Abstract
The preceding (The Effect of Thermal Radiation on Textile Materials) paper outlined the problem facing the Army in its attempt to provide protection against the thermal effects of atomic weapons. The use of the arc imaging furnace and the solar furnace to simulate thermal effects was described, and methods for measuring the effectiveness of potential clothing fabrics were summarized. A program aimed at the development of thermally stable fibers and fiber blends as a means of providing thermal protection was discussed.
