Superior stability and fire retardancy of RGI-wood compared to natural wood. (a) Dimensional stability of RGI-wood and natural wood in both directions under temperature change. (b) The weight gain of RGI-wood and natural wood soaked in water at room temperature for 24 hours. (c) TGA curves of RGI-wood and natural wood show that RGI-wood has higher thermal stability in air. (d) The heat release rate curves of RGI-wood and natural pine wood given by cone calorimetry test showing that RGI-wood releases less heat during combustion. (e) The weight loss curves of RGI-wood and natural pine wood during combustion given by cone calorimetry test showing that RGI-wood loses weight later and slower. (f) The total smoke production curves of RGI-wood and natural pine wood during combustion given by cone calorimetry test showing that RGI-wood has much lower smoke emission.
