Abstract:Recently, we reported on a novel ex situ thermal impulse sensing technique (based on lanthanide-doped oxide precursor nanoparticles) for use in structural fire forensics and demonstrated its functionality in small-scale lab-based tests. As a next step we have now performed a large-scale lab test at the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) Fire Research Laboratory using a burn chamber with three sand burners. In this test we demonstrate our technique’s ability to determine the average t… Show more
