Continuous Fabrication of Bioinspired All-Biomass Aerogel Fibers for Thermal Insulation (IMAGE)
Caption
- A scalable continuous method was established for fabricating all-biomass aerogel fibers.
- Hydrogen-bond-driven cellulose shrinkage and alcohol-cured silk fibroin collaboratively enabled the formation of a core-shell aerogel fiber with aligned lamellar pores in the core.
- The hierarchical aerogel fibers exhibit low thermal conductivity (52.4 ± 4.2 mW m−1 K−1), low density (0.193 ± 0.01 g cm−3), excellent mechanical flexibility, wash stability, and effective thermal protection.
