Description
Summary:A specialized green 3D printing protocol for moss was developed by integrating aerogel and hydrogel with a mild in situ hydrothermal nano-modification process. The method combines the lightweight and insulating properties of aerogel with the moisturizing and biocompatible characteristics of hydrogel, resulting in a robust and efficient platform for moss growth. These products offer significant space-saving advantages and are designed to be both durable and convenient. By enhancing photosynthesis, they contribute to improving air quality and promoting environmental health in various crowded spaces, making them a practical solution for urban environments and other high-density areas.
