As naturally derived composite materials, flexible transparent wood and bamboo (FTW, FTB) present notable advantages, such as straightforward preparation, high light transmittance, exceptional environmental sustainability, superior mechanical properties, low thermal conductivity, and multifunctional capabilities. Their high conductivity and sensing capabilities provide viable alternatives to conventional materials in flexible electronics. This article reviews the preparation of FTW and FTB through a top-down approach, beginning with examining how the microstructure of wood and bamboo affects the properties of these materials. It subsequently summarizes various manufacturing techniques and explores potential applications across diverse sectors. Finally, the article addresses current challenges and emphasizes the necessity for further research and innovation to promote the sustainable development of FTW and FTB in advanced applications.
作为天然衍生的复合材料，柔性透明木材和竹子（FTW，FTB）具有显著优势，如制备方法简单、透光率高、环境可持续性卓越、机械性能优异、热导率低以及具备多功能特性。它们的高导电性和传感能力为柔性电子领域的传统材料提供了可行的替代方案。本文综述了通过自上而下的方法制备FTW和FTB的过程，首先考察木材和竹子的微观结构如何影响这些材料的性能。随后总结了各种制造技术，并探讨了在不同领域的潜在应用。最后，本文阐述了当前面临的挑战，并强调了进一步研究和创新以推动FTW和FTB在先进应用中可持续发展的必要性。
