Polymers and nanocomposites projects
-
Fire retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposites
The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention

Fire retardant clay-polymer nanocomposites - SUREFIRE
The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.
