Abstract

, with the limiting oxygen index (LOI) exceeding 60%. Meanwhile, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased by more than 30% compared to those of the untreated materials. Additionally, we utilized this gel paint to fabricate electric heating fabrics, motion sensors, and fire alarm devices. Finally, we have thoroughly explored the potential mechanisms of conductivity, flame retardancy, and adhesion of the gel coatings.
