Abstract

Fire safety is a critical concern in various industries necessitating the development of sustainable and effective fire-resistant materials. Sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels are regarded as an innovative solution in fire safety applications, and as such, research in this field has increased consistently over the past few years. Despite the plethora of literature on this important subject, only a few studies have attempted to map the global research of sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels to identify the geospatial collaborative network and trend of research. This study utilizes a scientometric review of global trends in sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels research between 2003 and 2023 using VOSviewer and biblioshiny to analyze co-author, co-word, co-citation, clusters, and geospatial maps. A total of 234 bibliographic records from the Scopus database were analyzed to generate the study’s research power networks and geospatial map. The most significant contributions in sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels come from China, the United States, Australia, Canada, and India with records of 194, 20, 11, 9, and 8, respectively. The top five sources for articles in this area of research include ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, Chemical Engineering Journal, Composite Engineering, ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, and Carbohydrate Polymers. The application of sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels spans the engineering and construction fields. The versatility in the fabrication and customization allows for seamless integration into diverse applications. The article concludes by emphasizing the significance of sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogels as a promising advancement in fire safety technology, combining sustainability, fire resistance, versatility, and mechanical strength to address critical challenges in the field. This review provides important insight into the research challenges, trends, and patterns of sustainable fire-resistant polysaccharide-based composite aerogel research worldwide.
