Effect of Porous Silica on the Thermal Performance of Epoxy-Based Transparent Wood
Transparent wood provides daylight transmission by filling a bleached wood scaffold with a transparent polymer. However, polymer filling can reduce the intrinsic thermal resistance of porous wood. Porous silica may help restore thermal resistance through its confined porous structure. the key question of this work is whether we can achieve a transparent wood window that balances transparency and thermal insulation at the same time.
