On the 26 October 2018, the ARC Fire Training Centre participated in the UNSW Defence Industry Showcase in Spotless Stadium, Homebush, NSW. The event showcased UNSW excellence in defence research and technology and highlighted the University’s many relevant defence research capabilities and technologies. More than 700 senior defence, defence industry, government and affiliated representatives were Read more about Fire Retardant Materials and Structures Capability Showcased in UNSW defence portfolio[…]

Recently, we have successfully developed a systematic framework to extract key pyrolysis kinetics for wood-based materials (DOI: 10.1177/0734904118800907). We can utilize these kinetics into our fire simulation models to gain more understanding of the burning characteristics of solid combustibles. From there, we are now aiming to further characteristic the morphological structure and detailed gas volatile Read more about Formulating an informative database for flame retarded materials[…]
