Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multiscale phase segregation in block copolymers enables spatially deterministic structuring from molecular to macroscopic scales, decoupling solar scattering and infrared emission for augmented radiative cooling. ABSTRACT Passive radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A sandwich‐structured aramid composite paper was designed to integrate high corona resistance and thermal conductivity. The fluorinated graphene/aramid surface layers effectively dissipate space charges to suppress corona discharge. Meanwhile, the boron nitride nanotube/aramid core layer constructs continuous heat‐conduction pathways.

Uniformity Of Radiant Heat Fluxes In Cone Calorimeter [PDF]
Fire Safety Science, 2003 A model has been developed for the local configuration factor for the radiant interchange between the internal surface of the cone heater and the specimen's surface in the cone calorimeter. The incident heat flux under the cone was characterised in a series of experiments as a function of spatial coordinates.

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vehicle flammability poses a critical threat to transportation infrastructure, with recent fires in depots, tunnels, and car parks highlighting systemic vulnerabilities. These incidents often result in the total loss of vehicles and buildings, revealing the inadequacy of current fire safety standards for vehicle materials.

The Controlled Atmosphere Cone Calorimeter: A Literature Review
Fire Technology, 2023 AbstractCone calorimeters are widely used to assess heat release parameters and flammability of combustible materials, but their use is limited for applications where the global equivalence ratio (GER) exceeds one, because they can only replicate burning in open conditions. The standardisation of the controlled atmosphere cone calorimeter (CACC) in the
