CONSIDERING THE SIGNIFICANTLOSSES OF HUMAN LIVES, PROPERTY AND FINANCIAL BURDEN TO FIRE THAT HAS HAPPENED OVER LAST SEVERALYEARS, THERE HAS BEENA CRITICAL NEED EMERGED TO DEVELOP NEW CLASS OF SAFE, EFFECTIVE, AND VERSATILE FIRE RETARDANTS (FR). INTUMESCENT FR COATING IS AN AREA OF UTMOSTIMPORTANCE IN DESIGNING ADVANCED FR-PRODUCTS. THESE COATINGS INTERACT WITH RISING TEMPERATURE BY SWELLING UP (INTUMESCING, OR EXPANDING) TO GENERATE A HEAT-INSULATING CHAR THAT DECELERATES OR POTENTIALLY PREVENTS THE ELEVATION OF TEMPERATURE TO A CRITICAL LEVEL (SUCH AS, 5000C FOR STEEL). INCORPORATION OF FR-MATERIALS IN A COATING SYSTEM OFTENTIMES REDUCE THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE COMPOSITE OWING TO INCOMPATIBILITY OF THE FR-ADDITIVE WITH OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE COATING SYSTEM, SUCH AS WITH THE COATING RESIN. SUCH INCOMPATIBILITY ALSO AFFECTS RHEOLOGICAL AND SHELF-LIFE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT. THEREFORE, IDENTIFYING AN EFFICIENT, NON-TOXIC ADDITIVE THAT INCREASES FR-PROPERTIES OF A COATING WITHOUT AFFECTING ITS PHYSICO-CHEMICAL IS AN UNMET NEED. WE ARE AIMING TO DEVELOP AN INTUMESCENT FR-COATINGS USING BYPRODUCT OF BIODIESEL INDUSTRY (GLYCEROL) AND AGRICULTURE (PHYTIC ACID). UTILIZING THE PRINCIPLES OF NANOTECHNOLOGY, WE AIM TO PREPARE FR-ADDITIVE IN THE FORM OF NANOGELS. THESE GELS WILL BE INCORPORATE INTO COATING RESINS, WHICH WHEN APPLIED ON A SUBSTRATE WILL SLOW, OR EVEN COMPLETELY STOP FIRE SPREAD AND PROPAGATION.
