High-performance flame retardant polymer foams by bioinspired nanocoating

该项目旨在开发高性能阻燃聚合物泡沫，利用逐层组装在其表面创建一种阻燃纳米涂层。聚合物泡沫塑料因其密度低、隔热性能好而被广泛用作现代建筑的保温材料。然而，它们是高度易燃的，这对生命和财产构成了极大的火灾威胁。合成的聚合物泡沫的阻燃性、耐久性和耐磨性将通过控制逐层结构参数进行量身定制。该项目开发的阻燃聚合物泡沫塑料不仅有助于节约能源，还可以将火灾对生命、财产和环境的潜在危险降至最低。

This project aims to develop high-performance flame retardant polymer foams by creating a flame-retardant nanocoating on their surfaces based utilising layer-by-layer assembly. Polymer foams are widely used as thermal insulation materials for modern buildings because of their low density and excellent heat insulation. However they are highly flammable, which poses a great fire threat to life and property. The flame retardancy, durability and wear-resistance of the resultant polymer foams will be tailored by manipulating the layer-by-layer construction parameters. The flame retardant polymer foams developed in this project will not only contribute to saving energy, but also to minimise the potential of fire hazards to life, property and the environment.
