TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pyrolysis reactors on the properties of biochars (with a focus on flammability and mechanical characteristics) were investigated by keeping factors such as feedstock, carbonisation temperature, heating rate and residence time constant.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide information on the recent developments and prospects of self-healing composites and their applications in various fields such as aerospace, automobiles etc., and discuss Fabrication and characterization techniques as well as intrinsic and extrinsic selfhealing techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper , the second/end peak heat release rate (PHRR) during wood combustion under radiative heating was determined, which is governed by the boundary condition defined by the rear material, which determines the heat losses at the rear side of the specimen and consequently the temperature of the sample.

TL;DR: In this paper , water-leaching resistance of fire-retardant wood has been imparted by grafting phosphate and carbamate groups of the water-soluble FR additives ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP)/urea onto the hydroxyl groups of wood polymers via vacuum-pressure impregnation, followed by drying/heating in hot air.

TL;DR: In this paper , the use of self-reinforcement in various polymers and its impact on mechanical, thermal, and fire properties are reviewed and presented in detail, and the effect of foreign filler addition (such as flame retardants, inorganic particles, natural fibers, etc.) on self reinforced composites is highlighted.
