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

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 …

Façade fires in tall buildings are currently occurring more than once a month globally that
are responsible for many casualties and billions of dollars in losses. In particular, the tragic …

To achieve the rapid prediction of minimum ignition energy (MIE) for premixed gases with
wide-span equivalence ratios, a theoretical model is developed based on the proposed idea …

The molten dripping behavior induced by flame spread over electrical wires under different
currents (0–50 A) were experimentally investigated to better understand the fire …

Electrical cable is a common fire risk and hazard, and once ignited, a cable fire can spread
to other rooms and floors by following the direction and location of cables. This work …

The flame spread behaviors of thermoplastic polymers are intimately related to the
properties of the material itself and the external environment. In this study, three different …

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

Fire testing data consistency and repeatability are essential for regulatory scrutiny, product
development, and fire modelling of the lightweight cladding system. Lightweight composite …

Dripping of molten fuels is a widely observed phenomenon in the wire fire and façade fire,
which promotes the fire spread and increases the fire hazard. The flame attachment to drip is …
