Biomimetic aerogels from microfibrillated cellulose and xyloglucan

• Cellulose aerogels with density of 7-100 kg/m3 were prepared by freeze drying from microfibrillated cellulose water suspensions, and biomimetic aerogels were prepared with the addition of xyloglucan. Their microstructures and physical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption measurements, and tensile tests.
