The research group focuses on the application-oriented fundamental problems and novel technologies in fire safety engineering, fire retardant materials and polymer-based composites. Main research activities include：
- Fire safety materials engineering
- Polymer composites engineering
- Fire–safe material systems
- Multifunctional polymer coatings
- Fire-mechanical behaviour of composites
- Engineering testing and benchmarking of materials
HPPN Research Group has well-equipped laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities for R&D in fire retardant materials and polymer composite/nanocomposites, has a track record of attracting funding from the European Union, international collaboration, industries, and national government, has built up wide cooperation with renowned scientific institutions in the worldwide.
