Wear-resistant, moldable mineral hydroplastics via nonsolvent-induced phase separation for adaptive architectural applications

Caption

  • Mineral hydroplastic (M-Hydroplastic) is fabricated via a nonsolvent-induced phase separation strategy.
  • A new M-Hydroplastic combines mineral with plastic features.
  • Versatile M-Hydroplastics show tunable thermal, optical, mechanical, and flame-retardant properties.
  • M-Hydroplastic can be reprocessed and recycled via reversible phase separation.
