Abstract:Aerogels as a thermally insulating material have attracted extensive consideration in recent years due to prevailing energy consumption in building, industrial sector, and aerospace applications. Cellulose contains all the favorable properties to be used as a thermally resistant substance but due to structural instability, it needs to be impregnated with other resilient substances. We report herein the preparation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/chitosan (CS) isotropic and anisotropic composite aerogels (CCSA) by… Show more
