Influence of Temperature-Induced Porosity Evolution on Heat Transfer Resistance
Published on 2025-05-22 by Taher Hafiz, James Covello, Gary E. Wnek, Stephen Hostler, Edrissa Gassama, Yen Wei, Jiujiang Ji @MDPI
Abstract: This study investigated the thermal performance of reduced super intumescent (RSI) coating, focusing on the correlation between porosity evolution and thermal conductivity under elevated temperature conditions. Porosity development was quantified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with MATLAB-based image analysis, achieving a maximum porosity of 62% after 60 min of exposure. Thermal degradation was characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which recorded a mass loss of[...]
Our summary: Influence of Temperature-Induced Porosity Evolution on Heat Transfer Resistance. Study on thermal performance of reduced super intumescent (RSI) coating, correlation between porosity evolution and thermal conductivity, quantification of porosity development, thermal degradation characterization, and evaluation of fire protection efficiency.

A Comprehensive Review
Published on 2025-05-22 by Paulina Dziomdziora, Piotr Smarzewski @MDPI
Abstract: Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has emerged as a revolutionary material in structural engineering due to its exceptional mechanical properties and durability. This review comprehensively examines the influence of hybrid fiber compositions on UHPC, focusing on mechanical performance and resistance to environmental degradation. Hybrid fibers, which combine steel and synthetic and basalt fibers, improve compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths by bridging microcracks and limiting macrocr[...]
Our summary: A Comprehensive Review of the influence of hybrid fiber compositions on the mechanical performance and resistance to environmental degradation of ultra-high-performance concrete. Hybrid fibers improve compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths by bridging microcracks and limiting macrocrack propagation, with steel fibers showing significant improvements in ductility and load-bearing capacity.

Abstract: This study addresses the need for thermomechanically robust materials for high-temperature environments by investigating fabric-reinforced composites produced through polymer infiltration and thermal pressing using phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and epoxy (ER) resins. Experimental validation was required due to the lack of comparative data across different textile reinforcements under identical conditions. Seven technical fabrics—carbon, aramid, basalt, silica, fiberglass, asbestos, and [...]

Enhancing Performance Through Waste Recycling
Published on 2025-05-17 by Avishek Chanda, Muhammad Khusairy Bin Bakri, Rajan Adhikari, Vikram Yadama @MDPI
Abstract: The construction sector’s increasing eco-consciousness is driving the need for higher-performance wood-based engineered products from underutilized timber resources, such as small-diameter trees from hazardous fuel treatments of our forests. Strand-based products, including oriented strand board (OSB) and lumber (OSL), are widely used. However, hot-pressing during their manufacturing generates approximately 10% waste, which includes a substantial amount of resinated strands that ar[...]

Dual Flame-Retardant and Curing-Agent Effects of Phytic Acid–Guanazole as an Additive in Fire-Protective Coatings for Wood
Published on 2025-04-25 by Xue Zheng, Yongjin Zou, Cuili Xiang, An Wei, Yuhong Wei, Lixian Sun @MDPI
Abstract: Recent research has focused on developing environmentally friendly flame-retardant coatings to improve the fire resistance of wood. In this study, phytic acid–guanazole (PG), a dual-functional compound synthesized through an ionic reaction between phytic acid and guanazole, was added to KH550-modified urea–formaldehyde resin (KUF) as both a curing agent and flame retardant. The −PO43− groups from phytic acid act as an acid source to acceler[...]
Our summary: Phytic acid-guanazole enhances fire resistance in wood coatings by acting as a dual flame-retardant and curing agent. The compound accelerates char formation and releases non-combustible gases, improving flame retardancy. Additionally, it reduces curing temperature, strengthens char layers, and outperforms conventional tannic acid in fire resistance.

Experimental Investigation of Fire—Technical Characteristics of Selected Flame Retardants for the Protection of Wooden Structures
Published on 2025-02-06 by Patrik Mitrenga, Miroslava Vandl�?kov�, Milan Kon�rik @MDPI
Abstract: This study evaluates selected flame retardants on the basis of their influence on the change of fire-technical parameters of soft and hard woods (spruce and oak) during exposure to a flame heat source. The parameters evaluated were mass loss, mass loss rate and depth of the charred layer. The experiments were carried out on simple test equipment on which the samples were exposed to direct flame while their mass was monitored. The measured data and their statistical evaluation showed a significan[...]
Our summary: This study evaluates the technical characteristics of selected flame retardants on soft and hard woods, analyzing mass loss, mass loss rate, and depth of charred layer. Results show significant differences between inorganic salt-based and intumescent flame retardants, with the latter showing higher efficiency in increasing fire resistance.
