“…The use of biomass residues as recyclable materials, rather than as resources that go to waste, has gradually become a mainstream trend for producing energy and reducing environmental pollution. Wood processing residues cause critical environmental and economic issues that urgently need to be solved [ 15 ]. Wood flour, an important filler of wood plastic composites, can be fabricated from the wood processing residues, which involves sustainably processing the residues a second time, thereby presenting the potential recycling value of the wood processing residues [ 16 ].…”

Styrene acrylic emulsions (SAEs) have emerged as a promising material for water-based coatings. However, they are still limited by their own defects in practical applications, poor weatherability, and degradation of performance at lower or higher temperatures. Here, we introduce a facile approach to producing fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from wood processing residues and fabricating fluorescent CQD/SAE coating films via emulsion-casting. The addition of the fluorescent CQDs enhanced the optical performance of the CQD/SAE coating films. The fluorescent CQDs were prepared via a hydrothermal approach and were obtained after heating at 180 °C for 6 h at a reaction concentration of 50 mg/mL. The synthesized CQDs resulted in a high fluorescence, and the CQDs had an average size of 1.63 nm. Various concentrations of the fluorescent CQDs were doped into the SAE coating film, which improved its optical properties. We also characterized and discussed the products and then explored their optical properties. This study presents the potential of fluorescent CQD/SAE coating films for applications in anti-counterfeiting coatings, fluorescent adhesives, and papermaking.
