Bioinspired Ceramifiable Fire-Retardant Composite Coatings

本项目旨在通过了解其组成-性能关系和阻燃机理，设计出具有生物启发性、粘合性、可陶瓷化的防火涂料。然后将防火涂料应用于典型的聚合物泡沫，以创建防火建筑隔热材料。该项目将产生材料科学方面的新知识，有助于加快用于各种易燃基材的下一代先进防火涂料的开发。该项目的预期成果是具有成本效益的防火涂料和防火、廉价的隔热材料。该项目将为澳大利亚带来巨大的经济效益，并有助于创造防火和节能的建筑。

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.
