This thesis investigates the ignition and flame spread behaviour of engineered wood-based materials, focusing on Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF), Particleboard, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), and Plywood. Thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, were analysed using Transient Plane Source (TPS) measurements. A new technique has been introduced for measuring therma
