Investigation of the size effect and explosion mechanism of fire-extinguishing microcapsules using a 3D-printed non-planar microfluidic platform

Puntos clave

• The explosion mechanism of fire-extinguishing microcapsules is influenced by their size, indicating critical performance variables.
• Key findings highlight that specific size ranges lead to different explosion intensities when triggered.
• Analysis using a 3D-printed non-planar microfluidic platform allows for better observation of microcapsule behavior during experiments.
• Understanding these mechanisms may enhance the design and application of fire-extinguishing technologies using microcapsules.
