Is MWCNT a good synergistic candidate in APP-PER-MEL intumescent coating for steel structure?

- The paucity of investigation of MWCNT in intumescent coatings is strongly felt.
- A thorough comparison between APP-PER-MEL without and with MWCNT using various techniques.
- Mechanism of action of nano-coatings in front of fire fails.
- MWCNTs impair char expansion and morphology of carbonaceous charring layer.
