Light Propagation in Transparent Wood: Efficient Ray-Tracing Simulation and Retrieving an Effective Refractive Index of Wood Scaffold

Jiu Pang et al.

Summary: Transparent wood, a biocomposite material with optical transparency, has potential applications in construction industry and functionalized organic materials. The optical properties of transparent wood depend on the structure of cellulose-based compounds, refractive index matching, and polymer matrix. A numerical model based on real cellular structure was used to estimate the effective refractive index of delignified wood reinforcement in transparent wood, showing simplified yet accurate solutions for light propagation modeling.

Solar-assisted fabrication of large-scale, patternable transparent wood

Qinqin Xia et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully produced transparent wood using a solar-assisted chemical brushing approach, preserving most lignin as a binder to reduce chemical and energy consumption. The obtained transparent wood demonstrates high transmittance, high haze, excellent light-guiding effect, and patternability on wood surfaces. Transparent wood shows promise for energy-efficient building applications due to its efficient, patternable, and scalable production process.
