Modern technology has enabled the isolation of nanocellulose from plant-based fibers, and current trend focuses on utilizing in a broad range sustainable materials applications. Water is generally seen as detrimental component when contact with nanocellulose-based materials, just like it harmful for traditional cellulosic such paper or cardboard. However, water an integral plants, many applications already accept presence make use it. This review gives comprehensive account nanocellulose–water interactions their repercussions all key areas contemporary research: fundamental physical chemistry, chemical modification nanocellulose, applications, analytical methods to map effect matrix.

Double‐Phase‐Networking Polyimide Hybrid Aerogel with Exceptional Dimensional Stability for Superior Thermal Protection System

Small, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20(44)

Published: July 2, 2024

Abstract Polyimide aerogels have been extensively used in thermal protection domain because they possess a combination of intrinsic characteristics and unique features polyimide. However, polyimide still suffer significant thermally induced shrinkage at temperatures above 200 °C, restricting their application high temperature. Here, novel “double‐phase‐networking” strategy is proposed for fabricating lightweight mechanically robust hybrid aerogel by forming silica–zirconia‐phase networking skeletons, which exceptional dimensional stability high‐temperature environments superior insulation. The rational mechanism responsible the formation double‐phase‐networking further explained, generally attributing to chemical crosslinking reactions supramolecular hydrogen bond interactions derived from main chains silane/zirconia precursor/sol. as‐prepared exhibit excellent (270 °C) (5.09% ± 0.16%), anti‐thermal‐shock properties, low conductivity. Moreover, hydrophobic treatment provides water resistance with contact angle 136.9°, suggestive moisture content 3.6% after exposure 70 °C 85% relative humidity 64 h. solution significantly enhancing insulation great supporting foundation high‐performance organic as materials aerospace.

Thermodynamic Mechanisms Governing Icing: Key Insights for Designing Passive Anti-Icing Surfaces

iScience, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 28(2), P. 111668 - 111668

Published: Jan. 5, 2025

In winter, while the freezing of water can create breathtaking landscapes, it also poses significant operational challenges when ice accumulates on functional surfaces. Ice obstructs solar panels, impairs car windshield visibility, increases energy consumption in appliances due to insulation, and cause structural failures or collapses weight rigidity. To address these issues, various active de-icing methods are employed cold regions. However, passive anti-icing solutions gaining preference for their lower consumption, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits. While superhydrophobic surfaces delay formation, they do not fully resolve problem. Understanding interaction between moisture-essential formation-can inspire innovative design principles. This review examines icing physics, identifies critical factors affecting evaluates icephobic surfaces, discusses practical application challenges. We outline promising principles emphasizing broad applicability across diverse environments.
