Wood xerogel for fabrication of high-performance transparent wood
Nature Communications, 2023 Optically transparent wood has been fabricated by structure-retaining delignification of wood and subsequent infiltration of thermo- or photocurable polymer resins but still limited by the intrinsic low mesopore volume of the delignified wood.
