Highly Insulative PEG-Grafted Cellulose Polyurethane Foams—From Synthesis to Application Properties
In this paper, native cellulose I was subjected to alkaline treatment. As a result, cellulose I was transformed to cellulose II and some nanometric particles were formed. Both polymorphic forms of cellulose were modified with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and then used as fillers for polyurethane. Com...
