Carbon-based aerogels have been recognized ... 10.1021/acs.iecr.7b04388. Raman spectra, XRD, and FTIR spectra; SEM image of GSA; TGA results; absorption capacity of different aerogels; reusability of ...

Abstract: Cellulose ... based nanofibers through electrospinning techniques. Cellulose, used to produce nanofibers, was extracted from natural cotton wool and rice straw using simple, cost-effective ...

Empa researchers have now succeeded in combining all these advantages in a single material. And their cellulose-based, 3D-printable aerogel can do even more. The miracle material was created under the ...

And their cellulose-based, 3D-printable aerogel can do even more. The miracle material was created under the leadership of Deeptanshu Sivaraman, Wim Malfait and Shanyu Zhao from Empa's Building ...

“You can place them on the top of a flower. And the advantage of having aerogels is that they have high surface area,” says Mohammad Peydayesh, a chemical engineer who’s also part of the ...

Carbon-based aerogels have been extensively studied, but suffer from issues such as agglomeration, which hinders optimal electrochemical properties. One proposed aerogel material is cellulose, which ...

The newly-developed material offers as good or even better thermal performance than ordinary plastic-based ... aerogel integrated wood which is made without adding additional substances. Wood ...

The strength characteristics of a BC aerogel depend on both its density and microporous structure (Revin et al., 2019). Chemical modification methods are widely used to adjust the properties of ...

In this study, porous aerogels were prepared by directional freeze-drying via cross-linking cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs ... Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were acquired using the ...

The effect of the material is impressive: with a density of only 1.7 milligrams per cubic centimeter, the silver-reinforced cellulose aerogel achieves more than 40 dB shielding in the frequency ...
