Bioinspired High-Strength Borate Cross-Linked Microfibrillated Cellulose Composite Laminate with Self-Extinguishing Flame Retardance and Superhydrophobicity for Self-Cleaning.

ABSTRACT: The cross-linking of borates enhances the intercellular structural connection, resulting in the creation of a mechanically superior structural material composed of lignocellulose and borate. This is accomplished by employing a mechanical pretreatment procedure and a binder-free hot-pressing method. Nevertheless, these materials frequently encounter constraints in humid environments, making it challenging to simultaneously achieve the desired performance objectives. Here, the prepressed bulk of microfibrillated cellulose is modified and subjected to hot pressing, while ensuring that the enhanced physical and mechanical properties of lignocellulosic recombinant materials are maintained. This modified material is termed the microfibrillated cellulose composite laminate (MCCL). These findings
