A composition for the manufacture of a porous, compressible article, the composition comprising a combination of: a plurality of reinforcing fibers; a plurality of polysulfone fibers; and a plurality of polymeric binder fibers; wherein the polymeric binder fibers have a melting point lower than the polysulfone fibers; methods for forming the porous, compressible article; and articles containing the porous, compressible article. An article comprising a thermoformed dual matrix composite is also disclosed, wherein the composite exhibits a time to peak release, as measured by FAR 25.853 (OSU test), a 2 minute total heat release, as measured by FAR 25.853 (OSU test), and an NBS optical smoke density of less than 200 at 4 minutes, determined in accordance with ASTM E-662 (FAR/JAR 25.853). |
