Advanced Flame-retardants

Development of nano-architectured and bio-inspired flame retardants composites with multifunctional properties. This series of works demonstrate our previous and ongoing research in fabricating advanced fire resilience materials for building applications.

MXene Nanosheets

A series of works on the application of an ultrafine 2D nanosheet transitional metal structure, namely MXene, typically in the form of Ti3C2. We discover this material is exceptional as a flame-retardant and low-weighted.
