Functionalized Fire-Resistant Paper
Ying‐Jie Zhu · 2021
The fire-resistant paper based on ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires has all the functions of traditional paper based on plant fibers, such as writing and printing. In addition, the fire-resistant paper has excellent resistance to both high temperatures and fire, which traditional paper does not have. As a result, the fire-resistant paper can be used in a variety of fields where traditional paper cannot be applied. The functionalization of the fire-resistant paper is a useful strategy to expand its applications. The author’s research group successfully developed more than 20 new types of fire-resistant paper based on ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires with various functions. This chapter presents the introduction to some representative functionalized fire-resistant papers, including the waterproof fire-resistant paper, antibacterial fire-resistant paper, waterproof electrically conductive fire-resistant paper, waterproof magnetic fire-resistant paper, waterproof photoluminescent fire-resistant paper, catalytic fire-resistant paper, photothermal fire-resistant paper, and light-driven self-propelled superhydrophobic photothermal fire-resistant paper.
