The demand for fire-resistant wood-based materials has grown in response to the increasing urban population density and the widespread construction of high-rise buildings. Inorganic hybridization is a promising strategy to impart hybrid properties to lignocellulosic composites. However, this approach usually leads to a deterioration of the mechanical properties of the resulting composites due to agglomeration of the inorganic particles and insufficient adhesion. In this work, microscopic inorganic particles (ground calcium carbonate, kaolin, fl...
