STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE PREPARATION METHOD OF KONJAC GLUCOMANNAN-SILICA AEROGELS ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE, THERMAL INSULATION, AND FLAME-RETARDANT PROPERTIES

Natural polysaccharides with high viscosity, good thermal stability, and biocompatibility can improve the mechanical properties of inorganic silica aerogels and enhance their application safety.However, the effects of the preparation methods of polysaccharide-silica aerogels on their microstructure and application properties have not been systemati

With the global commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the importance of transitioning to clean and efficient energy sources has become increasingly crucial.On this note, grid resiliency is crucial for sustainable energy supply because it ensures a reliable and uninterrupted flow of electricity from renewable sources to consumer

New Caledonia is a global biodiversity hotspot facing extreme environmental degradation.Given the urgent need for conservation prioritisation, we have made a first-pass quantitative assessment of the distribution of Narrow Endemic Species (NES) in the flora to identify species and sites that are potentially important for conservation action.We asse
