“…[1] Making paper with inorganicn anowires instead of organic plant cellulose fibers seems to overturn the common understanding of the traditional papermaking, especially when the inorganic paper not only has the basic functions of the paper such as being writable, printable and copyable, but also exhibits features such as nonflammability and resistancet oh igh temperatures, which traditional plant cellulose paper does not possess.

High‐strength flexible inorganic paper with fire‐resistant and adiabatic properties is highly demanded in various high‐temperature applications. However, constructing inorganic paper that not only has high strength and high flexibility at room temperature but also can prevent the high‐temperature‐induced friability is still a great challenge. Inspired by the hierarchical structure and excellent mechanical properties of the tooth enamel, we have developed a systematic approach for the bottom‐up fabrication of multi‐hierarchical fire‐resistant hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire paper with balanced tensile strength and flexibility that includes four steps: (1) the synthesis of monodisperse HAP nanowires from the molecular level to the nanoscale; (2) the self‐assembly of HAP nanowires into long fibers and two‐dimensional (2D) nanowire networks from the nanoscale to the mesoscale; (3) the layered assembly of 2D nanowire networks into the highly flexible high‐strength fire‐resistant paper from the mesoscale to the macroscale; (4) reinforcing the HAP nanowire paper with inorganic additives to enhance the tensile strength and to overcome the high‐temperature‐induced pulverization. By adopting this strategy, the mechanical properties of the fire‐resistant HAP nanowire paper are greatly improved. The experimental results show that the tensile strength of the as‐prepared HAP nanowires‐based inorganic paper is greatly enhanced to ≈15 MPa, which is close to that of the commercial copying paper, and the A4‐sized HAP nanowires‐based inorganic paper is highly flexible and can be directly printed using a commercial printer. Owing to the synergistic effect of all components and the unique hierarchical structure, the as‐prepared fire‐resistant HAP nanowire paper can also preserve well its high flexibility even under high‐temperature conditions.

“…The most common use is for printing and writing upon, and it is also widely used as a packaging material. Traditional paper is typically produced from plant cellulose pulp derived from wood or grass1 along with some additives and bleaching agents 2. To meet the requirements for high‐performance printing, paper needs an inorganic coating 3.…”
