A flame-retardant wood-based composite with magnesium–aluminium layered double hydroxides for efficient daytime radiative cooling

Abstract

The incorporation of magnesium–aluminium layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) nanoflakes into delignified wood sawdust is effective in providing simultaneous passive daytime radiative cooling and flame-retardant properties.

POSS/PVTMS aerogels for passive cooling and THz communication via cross-linking density regulation and nanoscale bimodal design

“…13 For example, using metal materials ( via coating and random distribution) has been proven to be an effective way to prepare highly efficient sunlight reflectors and PDRC materials. 14–17 Li et al 18 introduced magnesium–aluminum layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) nanoflakes into delignified wood sawdust by a freeze-drying assisted lamination process for simultaneous PDRC and flame-retardant applications. Xue et al 16 randomly distributed TiO 2 in a polystyrene-acrylate emulsion matrix, producing the hybrid metal/polymer layer with high solar reflectance.…”

Facile Fabrication of Highly Efficient Chitosan-Based Multifunctional Coating for Cotton Fabrics with Excellent Flame-Retardant and Antibacterial Properties

“…The natural fiber cotton, which is primarily composed of cellulose [1], possesses a diverse range of applications owing to its exceptional comfort, wearability, breathability, biodegradability and warmth retention and moisture absorption properties [2,3]. It not only serves as a clothing material but also finds utility in various daily necessities, thus playing a crucial role in the textile industry.…”
