EPSCoR Research Fellows: NSF: Advancing Hydrogel-Based Fire Suppression Through Collaborative Material Development and Performance Validation

US NSF grant open #nsf-2531864

Summary

This Research Infrastructure Improvement EPSCoR Research Fellows project provides a fellowship to an Assistant Professor and training for a graduate student at Oklahoma State University (OSU). This work is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Stanislav I. Stoliarov at the University of Maryland (UMD). Water remains the most widely used firefighting agent, but it is often ineffective against lithium-ion battery and wildland fires, especially in drought-prone and rural areas with limited water supply. This highlights the urgent need for new suppression technologies. Through this fellowship, the
