Potential of mucilage-based hydrogel for passive cooling technology: Mucilage extraction techniques and elucidation of thermal, mechanical and physiochemical properties of mucilage-based hydrogel

Current air-conditioning and refrigeration systems utilize active cooling technology, which consumes a lot of energy from fossil fuels, thereby increasing global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. Passive cooling is considered an alternative to active cooling because it is effective and less...
