Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, EarlyView.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.

Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.
