Graphical Abstract
An adjustable multiform material strategy by water regulation is proposed to meet the needs of comprehensive applications and reduce environmental costs. Multiform gels are constructed based on multiscale cellulose fibers and hollow glass microspheres, with fireproofing and thermal insulation. This multiscale cellulose-based gel can change forms from dispersion to paste to dough by adjusting its water content, which can realize various construction forms, including paints, foams, and low-density boards according to different scenarios and corresponding needs.
Abstract
Different forms of construction materials (e.g., paints, foams, and boards) dramatically improve the quality of life. With the increasing environmental requirements for buildings, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive sustainable construction material that is flexible in application and exhibits excellent performance, such as fireproofing and thermal insulation. Herein, an adjustable multiform material strategy by water regulation is proposed to meet the needs of comprehensive applications and reduce environmental costs. Multiform gels are constructed based on multiscale cellulose fibers and hollow glass microspheres, with fireproofing and thermal insulation. Unlike traditional materials, this multiscale cellulose-based gel can change forms from dispersion to paste to dough by adjusting its water content, which can realize various construction forms, including paints, foams, and low-density boards according to different scenarios and corresponding needs.
