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 ...
This article investigates how the thermal conductivity of a resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels varies with increasing resorcinol (R) to water (W) ratios. The thermal conductivity was measured using a transient plane source (TPS) method. As the R:W increases so does the thermal conductivity, this is because ...
