Objective
The overall aim of this STREP proposal is to develop a tool for the prediction of large-scale burning behaviour of polymer nanocomposites using intrinsic property data extracted from small-scale measurements. The focus is both on identifying the key intri nsic properties of these materials needed for predicting their fire behaviour and relating their dependence on their physical and chemical structure. Thus, this project will advance the knowledge in the frontier areas of nanotechnology and fire prediction and moreover, it will enable the rapid development of fire safe materials by providing the knowledge to design fire-safe polymer nanocomposites. This will have an enormous impact within Europe, and especially the accession states where fire deaths are still much too frequent, by increasing the fire safety of general consumer and building products, and by providing European industry with the know-how to meet the new stringent environmental and fire hazard regulations. This is a unique project because it brings together fire retardant and fire engineering expertise for the first time, allowing chemically intelligent approaches to polymer flammability to be applied to the problem of measuring nanocomposite flammability. The participants involved in t his proposal represent the best combination of experts available in the world.
