Physics of Anti-Flammable Devices: Principles, Designs, and Emerging Technologies for Fire Prevention and Suppression
Schlr. Dzrtm., Chandra Indra Purnama, Ph.Mkn.MKM. Independent Researcher October 2026 Abstract Anti-flammable devices represent a broad class of technologies designed to prevent ignition, inhibit flame propagation, suppress combustion, or mitigate thermal hazards. The physics underlying these devices involves thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, chemical kinetics, plasma physics, and materials science. This article presents a comprehensive review of the physical principles governing anti-flammable devices, including passive fire-resistant materials, active fire suppression systems, thermal barriers, smart sensors, and advanced nanomaterial-based technologies. Particular attention is given to the manipulation of the fire triangle and fire tetrahedron through engineered interventions. Emerging directions involving artificial intelligence, photonic sensing, and quantum-engineered thermal materials are discussed as future pathways toward highly efficient fire prevention systems....
