斯坦福的研究人员为家庭保护创造无毒、泡沫的野火阻隔水凝胶。 Stanford researchers create nontoxic, foamy wildfire-barrier hydrogel for home protection.

斯坦福大学研究人员开发了一种水凝胶,目的是保护建筑物免受野火的危害,将泡沫屏障作为水蒸发物。 Stanford University researchers have developed a hydrogel designed to protect structures from wildfires by creating a foamy barrier as its water evaporates. 由水、硅颗粒和聚合物制成的这种无毒屏障可在野火袭击前适用于家庭。 Made of water, silica particles, and polymer, this nontoxic barrier can be applied to homes before wildfires strike. 目前正处于研究阶段,该小组的目标是使凝胶商业化,美国林业局已经批准其组成部分。 Currently in the research phase, the team aims to commercialize the gel, which has received approval for its components from the U.S. Forest Service.
