Abstract:Extreme cold events are becoming more frequent and intense around the world, imposing a huge burden on human health and global economy. However, developing fibrous materials featuring ultralight weight, high shape retention, and high thermal insulation to withstand extreme conditions remains a great challenge. Herein, inspired by the natural porous loofah, an ultralight and superelastic micro/nanofibrous aerogel (MNFA) that integrates hierarchical pores and stable physical entanglements is directly synthesized… Show more
