Performance analysis of a self-protection system for vehicles in case of WUI fire entrapment [PDF]

, 2019
Sheltering inside a civilian vehicle has proved to be a high risk strategy in case of wildfire entrapment. Survival is by no means guaranteed, especially in moderate to high-intensity wildfires.

On Simulating Concurrent Flame Spread in Reduced Gravity by Reducing Ambient Pressure [PDF]

The flammability of combustible materials in spacecraft environments is of importance for fire safety applications because the environmental conditions can greatly differ from those on earth, and a fire in a spacecraft could be catastrophic.

Effects of boundary layer displacement and separation on opposed-flow flame spread [PDF]

, 1997
An analysis is presented of the viscous-inviscid Interaction region around the tip of a flame spreading over the surface of a solid fuel in a forced laminar high reynolds number air stream that opposes the flame propagation. Through the interaction, the

Unravelling the Secret of Sulfur Confinement and High Sulfur Utilization in Hybrid Sulfur‐Carbons

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thermal condensation of inverse vulcanized sulfur‐carbon hybrids enables a bottom‐up sulfur confinement strategy, in which a protective carbon phase is progressively constructed around sulfur species. The resulting carbon nanodomains covalently tether sulfur chains and stabilize radical intermediates. This integrated architecture effectively suppresses

Catalysts for polyimide foams from aromatic isocyanates and aromatic dianhydrides [PDF]

, 1979
Polyimide foam products having greatly improved burn-through and flame-spread resistance are prepared by the reaction of aromatic polyisocyanates with aromatic dianhydrides in the presence of metallic salts of octoic acid. The salts, for example stannous
