Synergistic effects of zinc borate and halloysite nanotubes (HNTS) on char morphology and gases emission of epoxy based intumescent fire retardant systems

In this study, Zinc Borate (ZB) and Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are simultaneously integrated in the in expandable graphite (EG) based intumescent fire retardant coatings. The synergistic effect between the ZB and HNTs on fire performance, char morphology, and thermal degradation of IFRC were invest...
