Bioinspired Ceramifiable Fire-Retardant Composite Coatings

本项目旨在通过对其组成-性能关系和阻燃机理的了解，设计出仿生的、可粘合的、可陶化的阻燃涂料。然后将阻燃涂层应用于典型的聚合物泡沫，以创建防火的建筑隔热材料。该项目将产生材料科学领域的新知识，有助于加快针对各种易燃基材的下一代先进阻燃涂料的开发。该项目的预期成果是具有成本效益的阻燃涂料和防火安全、廉价的保温材料。该项目将为澳大利亚带来显著的经济效益，并有助于创造防火节能的建筑。

This project aims to design bioinspired, adhesive, ceramifiable fire-retardant coatings through understanding their composition-property relationship and fire-retardant mechanism. The fire-retardant coatings are then applied to typical polymer foams to create fire-safe building thermal insulation materials. This project will generate new knowledge in materials science that helps to expedite next-generation advanced fire-retardant coatings for a variety of flammable substrates. Expected outcomes of this project are cost-effective fire-retardant coatings and fire-safe, inexpensive thermal insulation materials. This project will bring significant economic benefits to Australia and help to create fire-resilient and energy-efficient buildings.
