For the full media release, please visit NTU News: Invisible coating protects wood from fire.
"Mass engineered timbre-based building – that’s one of the key applications that we’re looking at. There’s huge potential in other areas, like for instance…steel. Although we have not completely explored this coating for steel, that could potentially be explored. Internal applications – lining materials, polymers. We can also coat this on polymers. So potential is there, it just has to be explored." - Assoc Prof Aravind Dasari - | |
