Sawdust may be put to use in flame-stopping building panels

Past efforts have been made to combine sawdust with struvite, in order to form fire-resistant panels that could be used for internal partitions within buildings. The problem has been, the manner in which struvite crystallizes has kept it from bonding well with sawdust.
Researchers from Switzerland’s ETH Zurich and Empa universities, working with colleagues from the Polytechnic University of Turin, have now solved that problem.
