Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Explosive, pyrotechnic, and other energetic materials are widely used in various industries, including defense, oil and gas, and fireworks. However, the handling, storage, and transportation of these materials pose significant safety challenges due to their potential to cause accidental fires, explosions, and environmental hazards. In addition, the development of new energy storage technologies has led to the use of energetic materials in batteries and capacitors, further increasing the importance of fire safety in this field. This Special Issue on "Energetic Materials and Fire Safety" aims to address these challenges by presenting the latest research and developments in the field. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following: the synthesis and characterization of novel materials, non-destructive testing and evaluation, risk assessment and management, fire suppression and extinguishment, and regulatory and policy issues. The goal is to advance our understanding of the fundamental principles and practical solutions for improving the safety and sustainability of energetic materials and related applications, including energy storage. We invite submissions from researchers and experts in the field to contribute to this Special Issue, which will provide valuable insights into this critical area of research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
