Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A sandwich‐structured aramid composite paper was designed to integrate high corona resistance and thermal conductivity. The fluorinated graphene/aramid surface layers effectively dissipate space charges to suppress corona discharge. Meanwhile, the boron nitride nanotube/aramid core layer constructs continuous heat‐conduction pathways.
