Fire Prevention and Flame Retardant Materials—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Fire is a major threat to business, commerce, and society, in which building fires with the highest proportion feature rapid fire development and difficult firefighting and rescue. The application of fire retardant materials has demonstrated success in reducing fire losses by delaying or preventing products of combustion from propagating into the adjacent space. The design and application of novel and high-efficiency fire retardant materials is an urgent requirement of economic and social development. Recently, many efforts have focused on nano-structured fire retardants, multifunctional fire-retardant coatings, mono-component intumescent flame retardants, bio-based flame-retardant materials, and so on. The development of fire-retardant materials and extinguishing technologies is conducive to ensuring the safety of construction and reducing the damage caused by fires.

This Special Issue, titled “Fire Prevention and Flame Retardant Materials—2nd Edition”, aims to collectively disseminate the advanced research in the fields of design, preparation, performance, mechanism, and application of fire-retardant materials and fire extinguishing agents.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind 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.
