Thermal conductivity and water vapour transmission properties of wood-based materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
For several wood-based materials (plywood, OSB, melamine faced board (MFB), particle board and fibre board), the thermal conductivity was determined as afunction of the temperature (ranging between 10 and 30°C) and also the moisture content (from an oven-

Assessment of Life Safety Risk in Building Fires With an Integrated Fire and Evacuation Model

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents an integrated simulation methodology that combines fire hazard modeling with pedestrian evacuation analysis to evaluate how tenability conditions affect occupant egress. In the proposed approach, fire scenarios representative of leisure and spa resorts are modeled using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).

No fire without smoke : prediction models for heat release and smoke production in the SBI test and the Room Corner test based on Cone Calorimeter test results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Smoke production in fire represents a threat because fire smoke reduces visibility and because fire smoke is toxic. One way to reduce the risk of persons being overcome by smoke during evacuation is by setting requirements to the building materials ...

Laser‐induced graphene formation on recycled woods for green smart furniture

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2024.
We demonstrate the direct patterning of femtosecond Laser‐Induced Graphene (LIG) onto recycled wood, creating key electrical components for green smart furniture. These LIG electrodes set a record‐breaking electrical conductivity record at 2.781 Ω sq−1 among lignocellulosic LIGs.
