A multilayer fire-resistant material is provided, which comprises two or more layers formed of homogeneous or heterogeneous materials, with at least one layer being an organic/inorganic composite. The organic/inorganic composite comprises an organic component of a polymer, oligomer, or copolymer having a first reactive functional group, and inorganic particles having a second reactive functional group. The inorganic particles are chemically bonded to the organic component via a reaction between the first and the second reactive functional groups. |
