Abstract:
At present, light transmission, energy saving, environmental protection, and UV-shielding materials are very important for optimizing indoor living environment. Here, a fluorescent transparent wood (FTW) with UV-shielding function was prepared by encapsulating a carbon quantum dot and epoxy resin into a delignification wood template. FTW exhibits excellent optical transmittance (about 91%), water absorption stability (weight gain rate less than 9%), longitudinal tensile strength (139 MPa), and UV-shielding properties. Due to the photoluminescence characteristics of the carbon quantum dot and the natural cellulose skeleton of wood, FTW can show uniform luminescence under ultraviolet lamps. At the same time, it has remarkable UV-shielding performance. This kind of photoluminescent transparent wood with a UV-shielding function also has the potential to be applied to fields such as electromagnetic shielding and harmful gas detection.
