The rise and rise of fire resistance

Fire Safety Journal, 2020
Abstract Fire resistance is one of the most enduring ideas in fire safety design. This paper charts the emergence of fire resistance, and its rise to ubiquity – with a focus on British codes and standards. Beginning as a method for independent testing of ‘fireproofing’ systems, fire resistance was formalised in the USA, and subsequently in the UK ...

Engineering Local Polar Frustration in Lead‐Free Dielectric Ceramics for Ultrahigh Normalized Energy Storage Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Local polar frustration is engineered to stabilize an ergodic relaxer through nanoscale multiphase coexistence, suppressing long‐range ferroelectric order while preserving high polarization. This strategy delivers ultrahigh low‐field normalized energy density (Wa >0.020 mC cm−2), exceptional thermal stability, and a transferable design principle for ...
