Due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic value, wood and wood-based composites
are widely used as building materials. The fact that these materials are flammable, however …

Wood remained an integral part of building structures across the globe. Concerns have
nonetheless arisen about wood having inherent high flammability and threatening the fire …

The exterior application of fire-retardant (FR) timber necessitates it to have high durability
because of the possibility to be exposed to rainfall. In this study, water-leaching resistance of …

The reasons behind the occurrence of a second/end peak heat release rate (PHRR) during
wood combustion under radiative heating were determined. Effects of the type of rear …

Pyrolysis precedes the development of smouldering or flaming fires in storage and
processing facilities. Understanding this process and determining the parameters that …

Decarbonization has driven the construction industry to rediscover biobased, but inherently
combustible, materials like timber. To avoid compromising fire safety, reaction to fire of …

Wood-based materials are multifunctional green and environmentally friendly natural
construction materials, and are widely used in decorative building materials. For this reason …

Develo** flame-retardant wood with integrated anti-wetting property, self-cleaning and
good weatherability, has received intensive attention, which is vital to the rapid …

The increasing frequency of wildfires globally because of climate changing has resulted in
significant casualties and substantial property losses for humanity. Due to the difficulty of …

In this work, partially bio-derived colloidal microspheres are synthesised from tannic acid
(TA) and hexachloro-cyclophosphazene (HCCP), then investigated for their effectiveness as …
