This study outlines the preparation method and properties of thin extruded cellulose aerogel fibers and monolithic pieces. Microcrystalline cellulose was combined with a hydrated calciumthiocyanate salt melt to form a gel at 80˚C. In order to obtain fine, homogenous, wet cellulose filaments, twin screw extrusion experiments were performed. Cellulose aerogel filaments were yielded once the gels were washed and coagulated in an ethanol solution, and had undergone supercritical drying with ...
