Thermal Black‐Infused Polyurethane Rigid Foams: Novel Formulations Toward Higher‐Performance and More Sustainable Insulation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Thermal black improves polyurethane foam structure and stability. It helps the foam rise smoothly while promoting the formation of smaller, more uniform cells. The foam keeps its strength and insulation performance while reducing shrinkage. Its clean production and easy processing make it a sustainable, cost‐effective option for high‐performance ...

Organic–Inorganic Composite Nanofibers Based on YSZ Nanofibers Anchored PANI/SnS2 Heterojunction for Flexible Room Temperature NO2 Sensor

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel organic–inorganic YSZ@PANI/SnS2 composite nanofiber film was prepared via an in‐situ construction strategy of a PANI interfacial layer. The biomimetic "branch‐leaf" structure effectively disperses and releases stress and energy, while accelerating gas diffusion/transport and providing abundant active sites.
