ABSTRACT
The directions of the creation of heat-protective polymeric materials are described in the work. The possibility of predicting the properties of fireproof polymer materials is shown. The scientific principles of reducing the combustibility of polymer materials using carbon nanostructures are substantiated. The comparative estimation of variants of fire protection of polymeric materials is given. The efficiency of using nanostructures in polymer materials and their use in intumescent compositions are analyzed. The influence of carbon nanostructures on the property of foam boxes was studied. The thermophysical characteristics of the foam boxes have been determined and it has been proved that the use of carbon nanostructures makes it possible to significantly increase the strength characteristics and the multiplicity of foaming of the foam boxes. The foam boxes were investigated by such methods as atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence. It is proved that carbon nanostructures are active structure-forming agents. It is determined that 20carbonization begins on the inner surface of the bubble when modified by carbon nanostructures. The process of carbonization of the polymer material is significantly accelerated when exposed to fire and heat sources.
