Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Microencapsulation of clean gaseous fire-extinguishing agents for fire-retardant coatings

Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research
Most initial fires that originate in confined spaces cannot be effectively controlled by automatic fire suppression systems. Microcapsule fire-extinguishing agents, which exhibit stimulus-responsive behavior, are not constrained by storage and ...

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Fire suppression studies

Thermal Science, 2007
The paper presents overview of the current state of fire suppression studies. Focus is made on water-based fire protection technology, such as sprinklers and mist systems. Mechanisms of suppression and performance of different types of systems are discussed. Both experimental studies and mathematical modeling techniques are reviewed.

Temperature‐Modulated Threshold Response in a Volatile Memristor: Toward a Biomimetic Polymodal Nociceptive System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an artificial polymodal nociceptor whose firing threshold is actively modulated by temperature. A volatile TiN/TiOx/ZnO/TiOx/ITO memristor shows interfacial ion–driven resistive switching and membrane‐potential‐like dynamics, enabling temperature‐dependent nociceptive behavior.

Beyond Static Barriers: Modelling the Effects of Water Drop Suppression on Wildfire Spread

Fire
Wildfire suppression is often represented in fire spread simulators as static barriers that completely stop fire propagation and are placed at the start of the simulation.
