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.
