Bioinspired Flame‐Retardant and Impact‐Resistant Aramid Composites via Nacre‐Mimetic Self‐Assembly for Firefighting Applications (Adv. Mater. 42/2025)
Firefighting Applications In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202508606), Sheng Wang, Liping Gong, and co-workers report a nacre-mimetic self-assembly strategy aimed at enhancing the flame and impact resistance of aramid composites. The integration of hydrogen bonding and boron-oxygen crosslinking strengthens interfacial interactions, resulting in mechanical properties that surpass those of many advanced fabrics. This approach holds significant potential for improving fabrics used in firefighting applications.
