Fire and Materials (FM)

Fire and Materials is a well‑established academic journal that began publication in 1976 and is published on a bimonthly basis by Wiley‑Blackwell. The journal serves as a key platform for disseminating scientific and technological research that advances knowledge of how materials interact with fire. With safety and materials performance at its core, the journal covers fundamental and applied aspects of fire behaviour — including mechanisms of combustion, heat transfer, smoke production, toxicity of combustion products, fire retarding strategies, and innovative fire‑resistant material developments. Research published in the journal often combines detailed experimental investigations with theoretical or computational modelling, providing insights into fire performance under realistic conditions. Engineers and scientists use this research to inform the design of safer materials and products, improve fire testing standards, and develop risk assessment methodologies for buildings, transportation, industrial settings, and consumer goods. The journal’s interdisciplinary scope attracts contributions from materials scientists, chemists, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, and fire safety professionals. Over decades of continuous publication, Fire and Materials has become an authoritative reference in fire research and materials science, supporting both academic inquiry and practical advancements in fire protection and material engineering.
