Fire-Retardant Composite Resins for Bushfire-Safe Wind Farm Infrastructures

该项目旨在开发用于制造丛林防火安全风电场基础设施的先进阻燃复合树脂。该项目的创新之处在于开发了一类新型的低成本、新型、高效的阻燃剂及其具有良好物理性能的高附加值阻燃复合树脂。这将通过了解阻燃剂的组成-性能关系并优化其合成参数来实现。该项目将有助于将澳大利亚先进的复合材料制造业定位在技术前沿。它还将通过启用丛林火灾安全的风力发电场基础设施，加快澳大利亚向可再生能源的能源过渡。

This project aims to develop advanced fire-retardant composite resins for manufacturing bushfire-safe wind farm infrastructures. The innovation of the project is the development of a new class of low-cost, novel, highly effective fire retardants and their value-added fire-retardant composite resins with well-preserved physical properties. This will be achieved by understanding the composition-property relationship of fire retardants and optimising their synthetic parameters. The project will help position Australia’s advanced composite manufacturing at the forefront of technology. It will also accelerate Australia’s energy transition to renewables by enabling bushfire-safe wind farm infrastructure.
