EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Opposed-flow flame spread over solid fuels is a fundamental area of research in fire science. Typically combustion wind tunnels are used to generate the opposing flow of oxidizer against which a laminar flame spread occurs along the fuel samples.

Water‐Stable Paper‐Based Laser‐Induced Graphene With Asymmetric Water Adhesion and Wettability
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Paper‐based electronics are attractive for sustainable and disposable devices, but often fail in wet environments. By introducing Parafilm into cellulose paper combined with laser conversion, two graphene surfaces with different water interactions are created.

Effect of Initial Temperature on Flame Spread over a Sand Bed Wetted with Transformer Oil
FireA series of experiments were conducted on quartz sand beds wetted with transformer oil under initial temperatures of 80–140 °C and fuel–sand mass ratios of 1:4–1:8. The flame spreading process over the fine sand bed wetted with limited liquid fuel can be

Chemically Doped Conductive Polymers for Wearable Health Monitoring
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Among conductive polymers, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) are the most studied and applied. Chemical doping significantly boosts intrinsic conductivity and mechanical robustness.

Development of fire-resistant wood structural panels [PDF]
Structural panels made with Xylok 210 resin as the binder had a burn-through resistance at least equal to the structural panels made with Kerimid 500. Therefore, because of its comparative ease of handling, Xylok 210 was selected as the resin binder to ...
