Application of cellulose nanowhisker and lignin in preparation of rigid polyurethane nanocomposite foams
Cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) prepared by acid hydrolysis of softwood Kraft pulp was incorporated as nanofiller in rigid polyurethane (PU) foam synthesis. The density, morphology, chemical structure, mechanical properties and thermal behavior of the products were characterized. The nanocomposites exhi...
