Bark flammability as a fire-response trait for subalpine trees
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Relationships between the flammability properties of a given plant and its chances of survival after a fire still remain unknown. We hypothesize that the bark flammability of a tree reduces the potential for tree survival following surface fires, and ...

Multiple ways for enhancing flammability in Mediterranean woody species: a trait-based approach
iForest - Biogeosciences and ForestryEnhanced flammability is a key driver of community assembly and a favored characteristic in fire-dependent ecosystems. In this study, we examined the variability of flammability traits among Mediterranean woody species.

Species composition and fire: non-additive mixture effects on ground fuel flammability
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Biodiversity effects on many aspects of ecosystem function have been well documented. However, fire is an exception: fire experiments have mainly included single species, bulk litter, or vegetation, and, as such, the role of biodiversity as a ...

Catalytically Enhanced Near Room‐Temperature Hydrogen Sensing Using Pd‐ZnO Colloidal Crystals
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Pd‐decorated ZnO colloidal crystal monolayers demonstrate excellent performance across a wide hydrogen concentration range at 33°C, with high selectivity and reproducible device fabrication. The sensors show strong responses even at low‐ppm H2 concentrations and an ultra‐low detection limit of 82 ppb, indicating their suitability for diverse hydrogen ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A new phase‐change material encapsulated membrane offers more thermal resilience stability and safety than the conventional separators for batteries. ABSTRACT Thermal runaway in lithium‐ion batteries arises from the intrinsic coupling between heat generation and ion transport, yet conventional shutdown separators primarily rely on passive pore collapse

Use of Refractory Clay as a Flame Retardant in ABS [PDF]
Materials ResearchThis study explores the sustainable use of refractory clay (RC), a low-cost byproduct of the mining industry in southeastern Brazil, as a flame-retardant additive in acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene (ABS) composites.
