Wood is undeniably the most useful and readily available natural raw material. However, the susceptibility of wood products to fire is one of the crucial challenges faced in the wood industry. The fire behaviour of wood is a very complex phenomenon due to the different constituents and their independent reactions to fire. This article presents a thorough overview of the flammability stages of wood. It covers pyrolysis, thermal oxidative decomposition, ignition, combustion and heat release as well as flame extinction mechanisms. In the area of flame retardancy, conventional wood fire retardants, nanocomposites fire retardants and wood modification processes are investigated. Factors such as wood species, moisture content, density, experimental conditions such as external heat flux, heat exposure time, wood permeability and porosity are some of the deterministic parameters characterising the fire behaviour. This paper is a one-stop-shop for researchers analysing wood flammability due to the inclusion of all aspects pertaining to the burning of wood.
木材无疑是最有用且最容易获取的天然原材料。然而，木制品易着火是木材工业面临的关键挑战之一。由于木材的成分不同且它们对火的反应相互独立，木材的燃烧行为是一个非常复杂的现象。本文全面概述了木材的燃烧阶段。它涵盖了热解、热氧化分解、着火、燃烧和热释放以及熄火机制。在阻燃领域，对传统木材阻燃剂、纳米复合阻燃剂和木材改性工艺进行了研究。诸如木材种类、含水量、密度等因素，以及诸如外部热通量、热暴露时间、木材渗透性和孔隙率等实验条件，是表征燃烧行为的一些决定性参数。由于本文涵盖了与木材燃烧相关的所有方面，因此它是研究人员分析木材可燃性的一站式资料。
