Creeping fire spread under opposed airflow is a classic fundamental fire research problem
involving heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and is strongly dependent on …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review and summarise the existing available
literature on lightweight cladding systems to provide detailed information on fire behaviour …

Multiple fire hazards (heat, smoke, dripping) caused by thermoplastic polymers pose
integrated risks. Halogen or phosphorus flame-retardants tend to increase toxic, smoke or …

Extreme flammability of polylactide (PLA) has restricted its real-world applications.
Traditional research only focuses on developing new effective fire retardants for PLA without …

Microgravity experiments of polyethylene (PE) droplet combustion were conducted by a 3.6-
s drop tower with the gravity level of 10− 3~ 10− 4 g to investigate the burning behaviors and …

The dripping behavior of the molten thermoplastic insulation of copper wire, induced by
flame spread under overload currents, was investigated for a better understanding of …

Ignition by dripping flame is widely observed in wire fires and façade fires, but little research
has quantified its fire hazard. This work studies the ignition of thin papers (0.07–0.32 mm) by …

Discrete flame spread, accompanied with melt-flowing and-dripping behaviors, significantly
increases fire hazards of thermoplastic materials in exterior insulation walls. The movement …

Dripping of molten fuels is a widely observed fire phenomenon, and, by igniting other fuels, it
can promote fire spread and increase fire hazards. In this work, dripping phenomena from …

This study reported a novel strategy of introducing nano Calcium Carbonate (nCC) and
Octaphenylsilsesquioxane (OPS) simultaneously into poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) as the …
