“…UVA light can reach the dermis layer of the skin, destroy the elastic collagen fibers, and tan the skin. Meanwhile, UVB rays (wavelength: 275–320 nm) have the erythema effect on the human body, but can promote the metabolism of minerals and the formation of vitamin D in the body 40 . However, long‐term or excessive exposure to UVB results in skin tan as well as redness and peeling 41 .…”

The use of dopamine to synthesize melanin as a natural dye on fabrics has the disadvantages of complicated processing, long processing time, and high cost. This study simplifies the processing conditions of the oxidative polymerization of dopamine and develops wool fabric melanin coatings with different finishing effects by adjusting the reaction time. The results of computer color matching, ultraviolet (UV) protection properties, and color fastness indicated that the treated wool fibers were effectively dyed, and they achieved UV resistance properties comparable to those realized in other studies in a relatively short time. The degree of lightness (L) and UV protection factor of the treated fabric reached up to 13.3 and 80+, respectively. Samples W/PDA 60 and W/PDA 120 absorbed more than 95% of the UV light. The color fastness was greater than Grade 4. The Fourier infrared spectrum and X‐ray diffraction studies revealed that the chemical and crystalline structures of the wool fiber did not change significantly after the treatment. The breaking strength of samples W/PDA 60 and W/PDA 120 was about 50% higher than that of the original wool fabric. This efficient and simple method provides a feasible and promising solution for the color deepening and UV finishing of high value‐added wool products. It can be a potential choice for upgrading the printing and dyeing industries from the perspective of ecological protection.

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely recognized as efficient solutions for thermal management across various industries, including logistics, construction, electronics, and others. Nevertheless, these materials encounter challenges such as leakage, poor thermal conductivity, and supercooling. To address these challenges, a comprehensive examination was conducted on the recent advancements pertaining to silicon‐based materials. These studies include their application as high temperature PCMs, as encapsulation matrices, and their integration as additives to enhance material properties. Aluminum–silicon (Al−Si) alloys offer a viable thermal management solution for high‐temperature applications, such as those found in car batteries. Silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon carbide (SiC), and silicate‐based minerals have demonstrated the ability to synergistically encapsulate PCMs to prevent leakage, enhance thermal conductivity, and mitigate supercooling. However, the efficacy of these strategies in reducing supercooling varies, and a considerable number of studies have reported an exacerbation. Therefore, appropriate material selection and fine tuning for formulation are necessary. This review critically assesses silicon‐based materials as a component of PCM composite that have been developed over the years. Also, it presents an academic analysis of the selection of silicon‐based materials and the design strategy for PCM composites to optimize PCM formulations according to specific desired properties.

“…1,2 Therefore, it is rather urgent and important to develop materials with good UV shielding function across industries and academia. 3 Generally, UV shielding polymers are prepared by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles such as graphene oxide, 3 titanium dioxide, 4 silicon dioxide, 5 among others, as the UV absorbers into the polymers. However, most inorganic nanoparticles exhibit photocatalysis and degrade the polymers to some extent.…”
