Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous development of modern engineering and building technology has led to increasing demand for high-performance functional materials, while fire safety has emerged as a critical global concern for public safety and infrastructure sustainability. Understanding the pyrolysis behavior, combustion kinetics, and fire resistance characteristics of materials forms the fundamental scientific basis of fire hazard assessment, flame-retardant material design, and fire risk mitigation. This research area bridges materials science, combustion chemistry and fire safety engineering, providing essential theoretical and technical support for developing fire-safe materials and protecting human life and property, making its ongoing advancement both scientifically significant and practically urgent.
This Special Issue will collect cutting-edge theoretical, experimental and numerical studies in this field, providing a platform for researchers to exchange their latest findings, promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and address emerging challenges in material fire safety.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Pyrolysis kinetics and reaction mechanisms of solid combustible materials;
- Novel flame-retardant technologies and fire resistance materials development;
- Characterization of combustion behavior and fire hazards of new materials;
- Modelling and simulation of material pyrolysis and fire growth;
- Advanced experimental techniques for studying material fire characteristics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
