... . investigation of the fundamental chemistry of the burning process, including pyrolysis of the solid by flame radiation and gas-phase combustion reactions, by modern techniques could well suggest compositions that minimize hazards and give confidence for naval applications in which integrity is a prime concern.

From page 6...
... Higher-molecular-weight coupling agents could provide affinity with both the matrix and the reinforcement and better matching of the mechanical properties of the two components. A better understanding of the chemistry of composite interfaces will enable rational design of high-performance materials and control of aging processes that limit applications.
