The Role Of Nanotechnology in Fire Protection
The Role Of Nanotechnology in Fire Protection

Summary/Abstract: Nanotechnology provides new solutions for numerous applications that significantly impact almost every aspect of our society, including medicine, smart cities, the military, agriculture, and industry. Additionally, nanostructures are increasingly applied in fire protection. Application of nanotechnology and nanomaterials, compared to traditional materials, can extend the preservation of material integrity under direct exposure to fire and its effects. This undoubtedly eliminates or reduces the possible consequences of fire, which, in addition to safety benefits, also has significant economic benefits. The present short survey sought to summarize the use of nanotechnology in fire protection, including fireproof materials, the construction industry, nanotextiles, and nanosensors. Finally, there is a brief discussion of the possibilities of using the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT), as well as the potential risks this revolutionary technology, as well as nanotechnology, may pose to humanity.
