Under the guidance of

Mrs.R. Daulath Banu
(Assistant Professor)
OBJECTIVE

• To develop thermally stable fire retardant nanocomposite using unsaturated polyester resin with
suitable flame retardant additives.

• To characterize the developed fire retardant polyester nanocomposite.

INTRODUCTION
 Composites are widely used in various application especially unsaturated polyester
resin based composite.
 But unsaturated polyester resin based composite are not thermally stable and fire
retardant. Hence, our project work is focused on developing flame retardant
nanocomposite.
Material used
1. Unsaturated polyester resin
2. Catalyst
3. Accelerator
4. Flame retardant additives ( melamine cyanurate, ammonium polyphosphate,
LDH )
Methodology

 Synthesis of flame retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposite using

various flame retardant additives.
 Characterization of developed flame retardant nanocomposite.
TESTING & CHARACTERIZATION
1. UL94 flammability test
2. Limiting oxygen index test
3. Smoke density test
4. FTIR
5. XRD
6. SEM
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Development Of Thermally Stable Flame Retardant Nanocomposite

APPLICATIONS
Thermal and flame retardant Applications
