Abstract

Green foams/aerogels based on nanocellulose derived from natural plant fibers have been extensively studied because of their great potential for applications in energy adsorption, energy storage, template, thermal insulation, sensing, and water purification. Progress in fabricating foams/aerogels using nanocellulose as reinforcing fillers or building blocks is reviewed. Firstly, structure and properties of nanocellulose is discussed. Additionally, by means of material classification, various approaches for fabricate foams/aerogels with various types of nanocellulose are introduced. Nanocellulose plays a critical role on the structural, mechanical properties, thermal properties and further functionalizations of foams/aerogels.
