1. A composite sheet material comprising a porous core layer, said core layer comprising:
- a web of open celled structures defined by random crossing over of reinforcing fibers held together by a thermoplastic polymer;
said web comprising about 20 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of reinforcing fibers based on a total weight of said porous core layer, andan effective amount of a flame retardant agent, said flame retardant agent comprising at least one of N, P, As, Sb, Bi, S, Se, Te, Po, F, Cl, Br, I, and At.

21. A method of manufacturing a porous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet, said method comprising:
-
providing a porous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet comprising at least one porous core layer comprising a web of open celled structures defined by random crossing over of reinforcing fibers held together by a thermoplastic material, said web comprising from about 20 weight percent to about 80 weight percent fibers, and an effective amount of a flame retardant agent, said flame retardant agent comprising at least one of N, P, As, Sb, Bi, S, Se, Te, Po, F, Cl, Br, I, and At; and laminating at least one skin to a surface of the porous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet, each skin comprising at least one of a thermoplastic film, an elastomeric film, a metal foil, a thermosetting coating, an inorganic coating, a fiber based scrim, a non-woven fabric, and a woven fabric, the skin having a limiting oxygen index greater than about 22, as measured per ISO 4589-2, first edition, 1996, to enhance at least one of the flame, smoke, heat release and gaseous emissions characteristics of the porous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
