As the material heats, its conductive performance is altered. This change in conductivity can be used to generate a warning of imminent fire risk. <\/p>\n<p>Such warnings could also take a variety of forms beyond the typical flashing lights or sound-based alarms of existing fire detection systems. This new generation of alarms is aiming to take advantage of developments in shape and color-change materials, as well as multifunctional materials, to create a wider range of risk indicators. <\/p>\n<p>Li explained that rather than existing as standalone sensors like a traditional smoke detector attached to a wall or roof of a house, IMDEA Materials&#8217; fire sensors would be connected directly to the buildings&#8217; physical materials.<br \/>\n                                            <!-- Google middle Adsense block --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In buildings, for example, the wallpaper that is used as decoration can be modified to be used as a fire sensor,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You could also use other materials like wood or foam insulation which could also provide this warning function.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The material would be connected to a receiver device, which would be able to monitor indicators like temperature change and then send that information to the signal emitter.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/imdea-materials-instit-2.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/hires\/2022\/imdea-materials-instit-2.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"\">\n<figure class=\"article-img text-center\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800a\/2022\/imdea-materials-instit-2.jpg\" alt=\"IMDEA Materials Institute developing sensor technology to detect fires before they start\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Previously published results in <i>Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects<\/i>, meanwhile, have shown that the intelligent, custom-made wireless communication system being developed by researchers has been able to emit warning messages on screens at distances of up to 20 km from the fire. <\/p>\n<p>Li&#8217;s fire sensor technology builds on a decade of research carried out in the field of fire-retardant materials under the banner of IMDEA Materials&#8217; High-Performance Polymers and Fire Retardants group led by Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang. <\/p>\n<p>And despite having shown great promise to date, research work into the new sensor technology continues.
