Enabling simultaneous reprocessability and fire protection via incorporation of phosphine oxide monomer in epoxy vitrimer
Véronique Michaud, Valentin Rougier
The conception of epoxy thermosets with both reprocessability and flame retardancy delineates a new horizon in polymer science, offering a material solution that is not only superior in fire safety but is also environment friendly. Herein, a flame-retardan ...
Journal Mater Sci Technol2024Brown carbon absorption in the Mediterranean basin from local and long-range transported biomass burning air masses
This study examines the impact of light absorption from biomass burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) in the Mediterranean basin from local and distant fire incidents during a typical fire season in August 2019 and under severe fire activity in August 2021. The ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Fire performance evaluation of GFRP-balsa sandwich bridge decks
Bridges are a critical component of national infrastructures and economies. A significant percentage of bridges built all around the world are made of reinforced concrete which according to building codes have a life span between 80-100 years. However, str ...
EPFL2022Unveiling exceptional Baltic bog ecohydrology, autogenic succession and climate change during the last 2000 years in CE Europe using replicate cores, multi-proxy data and functional traits of testate amoebae
Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz
We present the results of high-resolution, multi-proxy palaeoecological investigations of two parallel peat cores from the Baltic raised bog Mechacz Wielki in NE Poland. We aim to evaluate the role of regional climate and autogenic processes of the raised ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Fire Design of Concrete Structures based on a Levels-of-Approximation Approach
Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Miguel Gomez
Concrete structures, contrary to steel or timber structures, have not been traditionally considered as significantly sensitive to fire conditions. As a consequence, their performance in fire conditions has generally been assessed on the basis of quite simp ...
