Scientific Research on Fire and its Application to Firefighter Safety

【Supercategory：3. Textile Category：3.6 Cloth engineering Subcategory：3.6.3 Others】

Our lab conducts scientific research on (1) understanding fire dynamics and firefighters’ working environment, (2) heat transfer process in firefighters’ personal protection equipment (PPE), (3) development and revision on standard fire tests and thermal performance requirement of material and PPE and (4) development of new firefighter PPE. Finally, research on fire protection for materials and people is one of our objectives, but our essential goal is to educate firefighters (emergency responders) about better understanding of fundamental of fire risk and physics within PPE for their safe operation.
