Interactive Material Laboratory

Explore two simplified material-response models using the controls in each scene.

HEAT-RESPONSIVE FIRE-SUPPRESSION MATERIAL

Heat-Activated Fire Suppression

This conceptual enclosure scene shows how heat-responsive microcapsules can release a near-colorless inert fire-suppression gas near an early-stage fire source.

Hover over the scene to start the full response. Move the pointer to reposition the heat source; move away to reset.Tap the scene to start the full response. Tap again after it finishes to replay.

Local heat load rises → the responsive shell weakens or cracks → an inert fire-suppression gas is released → the gas spreads through the heated zone → the local flame and hot zone gradually diminish.

Conceptual simulation

Illustrative simulation. Cyan-blue makes the inert gas visible in the model; the actual release is nearly colorless. Actual gas release and fire-suppression performance depend on product specification, installation, fire source and enclosure conditions.

Simulation ready. The microcapsules are intact.

SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACE

Lotus-Effect Water Repellency

This conceptual macro-surface scene shows how rounded multi-scale texture and low surface energy can limit solid–liquid contact. Tilt the surface and add droplets to observe beading, rolling and loose-particle pickup.

Move horizontally to tilt the surface. Click to add a droplet; up to three may be present.Drag horizontally to tilt the surface. Tap to add a droplet; up to three may be present.

Multi-scale roughness and low surface energy reduce solid–liquid contact, allowing droplets to bead, roll and carry away loose particles.
