We are hiring: a doctoral researcher for a project studying polymeric fire-stops
Fire-stops are an essential component of buildings’ fire resistance. They are used for closing gaps between compartment boundary elements and as seals for cable and pipe penetrations. Many modern fire stop materials are based on polymeric materials, and for a … Continue reading
