Development of fire‐retarded materials—Interpretation of cone calorimeter data

Bernhard Schartel, T. Richard Hull · 21 May 2007

Abstract There is little consensus within the fire science community on interpretation of cone calorimeter data, but there is a significant need to screen new flammability modified materials using the cone calorimeter. This article is the result of several discussions aiming to provide guidance in the use and interpretation of cone calorimetry for those directly…

Development of the cone calorimeter—A bench‐scale heat release rate apparatus based on oxygen consumption

Vytenis Babrauskas · 1 Jun 1984

Abstract A new bench‐scale rate of heat release calorimeter utilizing the oxygen consumption principle has been developed for use in fire testing and research. Specimens may be of uniform or composite construction and may be tested in a horizontal, face‐up orientation, or, for those which do not melt, in a vertical orientation. An external irradiance…

An overview of flame retardancy of polymeric materials: application, technology, and future directions

Alexander B. Morgan, Jeffrey W. Gilman · 19 Mar 2012

SUMMARY Flame retardancy of polymeric materials is conducted to provide fire protection to flammable consumer goods, as well as to mitigate fire growth in a wide range of fires. This paper is a general overview of commercial flame retardant technology. It covers the drivers behind why flame retardants are used today, the current technologies in…

Transient plane source (TPS) technique for measuring thermal transport properties of building materials

Torgrim Log, Silas E. Gustafsson · 1 Jan 1995

Abstract The electrical circuit for the recently developed transient plane source (TPS) technique for fast and precise measurements of thermal transport properties of solids has been modified for more convenient and more automated measurements. The technique has been tested for measurements of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity for a series of building materials ranging from…

Fire and Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Fire and Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Fire and Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Fire and Materials use?
Fire and Materials uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Fire and Materials 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Fire and Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Fire and Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Fire and Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Fire and Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Fire and Materials?
Fire and Materials is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Fire and Materials template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Fire and Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Fire and Materials template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Fire and Materials template cost?
You can start writing in the Fire and Materials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Fire and Materials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
