Intumescent fire-retardants (IFR) are widely applied in fire protection coatings of steel and wooden structures. The addition of inorganic fillers, such as layered ionic clays, can improve the fireproof performance of IFR coatings. However, a fundamental insight of how these filler materials synergi...
