摘要

Abstract

It remains a significant challenge to fabricate self-healing aerogels with excellent flame retardancy. Herein

we develop a class of biomass aerogels by electrostatically assembling chitosan (CS)

phytic acid (PA)

and itaconic acid (IA). The electrostatic interaction between CS and IA is weak and dynamic

so freeze-drying the solution of CS and IA enables the formation of continuous aerogel skeleton with self-healing ability and re-programmability; in comparison

the electrostatic interaction between CS and PA is strong and less dynamic

and thus mixing PA with CS in aqueous solution leads to fine precipitates of high flame retardancy due to the synergistic phosphorus-nitrogen effect. Integrating the continuous skeleton and the fine precipitates results in self-healing aerogles with UL-4 V-0 rating of flame retardancy aerogels and auto-extinguishable feature. Interestingly

the aerogels after burning in flame for 30 s form a skin-core structure

and the carbonized skin protects the integrity of the aerogels and the self-healing ability of the internal parts. Therefore

this work provides a facile strategy to develop multi-functional aerogels which hold great promise for advanced applications.
