The necessity of balancing in consumption and recycling process is evident to manage the
life cycle of plastics wastes. Obtaining approaches for plastics degradation with the aim of …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

Smouldering combustion is an important and complex phenomenon that is central to a wide
range of problems (hazards) and solutions (applications). A rich history of research in the …

Smoldering combustion is the slow, low temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels and
is the most persistent type of combustion phenomena. It is especially common in porous …

Fire is a chaotic and extreme phenomenon. While the past few years have witnessed the
success of integrating machine intelligence (MI) to tackle equally complex problems in …

Polyurethane is widely used, with its two major applications, soft furnishings and insulation,
having low thermal inertia, and hence enhanced flammability. In addition to their …

This paper presents a generalized pyrolysis model that can be used to simulate the
gasification of a variety of combustible solids encountered in fires. The model, Gpyro, can be …

Freestanding, mechanically stable, and highly electrically conductive graphene foam (GF) is
formed with a two-step facile, adaptable, and scalable technique. This work also …

Smouldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion of a condensed
fuel. It poses safety and environmental hazards and allows novel technological application …

The widespread application of polyurethane-based materials promotes its development and
increases the requirement of flame retardancy and smoke toxicity properties. This review …
