Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the frequent occurrence of fires in recent times, the development of new environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agents with high extinguishing efficiency and low toxicity is beginning to receive increased research attention. Moreover, the storage stability of friendly fire extinguishing agents also requires in-depth research for the following reasons:
- If a fire extinguishing agent possesses low storage stability, it can decompose easily, and the amount of key extinguishing compounds decreases. Therefore, it may not be able to extinguish fires efficiently.
- If some corrosive materials, such as hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, etc., are generated from the decomposition of fire extinguishing agents such as 2-BTP (C3H2BrF3), the metal and sealing materials of storage containers could be corroded., and thus accidents may occur.
- In some conditions, such as those inside engine compartments on airplanes, temperatures can be relatively high. Therefore, fire extinguishing agents should possess high storage stability under these high-temperature conditions in order to pass airworthiness certification.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to disseminate modern and innovative research regarding the storage stability of fire extinguishing agents. Fire extinguishing agents are a key aspect of the scientific study of fire and within the scope of Fire.
- Decomposition of fire extinguishing agents;
- The corrosivity of fire extinguishing agents to the metal materials of storage containers;
- The compatibility of fire extinguishing agents and sealing materials;
- Prediction of the life span of fire extinguishing agents;
- Other related themes.
Reviews and research articles concerning the above themes are encouraged for submission.

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.
