Development of Fire Retardant Thermal Insulation Materials for Buildings

该研究金提案旨在开发下一代基于阻燃硬质聚合物泡沫（RPF）的建筑物隔热材料。通过研究阻燃性、机械性能和老化性能，我们将从根本上了解所设计的纳米结构阻燃聚合物涂料的结构/组成-性能关系，并将获得坚固耐用的阻燃涂料。本项目将防火涂料应用于RPF，以创建目标防火保温材料。新知识和专利技术的产生将通过减少能源成本和与建筑火灾相关的经济损失，为澳大利亚带来重大利益。

This Fellowship proposal aims to develop next-generation fire-retardant rigid polymer foams (RPF)-based thermal insulation materials for buildings. Through investigating fire-retardancy, mechanical and ageing properties, we will fundamentally understand the structure/composition - performance relationships of as-designed nanostructured fire-retardant polymer coatings and will achieve robust, durable and fire-retardant coatings. This project will then apply the fire-retardant coatings to the RPF to create the target fire-retardant thermal insulation materials. New knowledge and patentable technologies to be generated will bring significant benefits to Australia by reducing energy costs and economic losses associated with building fires.
