Abstract

A fiber-reinforced composite material includes a bulk portion with a bulk matrix having reinforcing fibers embedded therein, and a surface portion with a plurality of laminated first layers serving as “expanding layers”, which expand and/or delaminate during fire impact. The surface portion also includes a plurality of laminated second layers different from the first layers and serving as “barrier layers”. The expanding layers and barrier layers can be arranged in an alternating sequence.
