Abstract

Heat- and fire-resistant of the composite nanomaterials based on unsaturated polyester resins are produced. Using ZnO nanoparticles and water as fire retardants are found to reduce the combustion rate and to increase the formation of the carbonized residue of composite nanomaterial based on polyester resin.
