Effect of density, phonon scattering and nanoporosity on the thermal conductivity of anisotropic cellulose nanocrystal foams

Abstract Anisotropic cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) foams with densities between 25 and 130 kg m−3 (CNC25 –CNC130) were prepared by directional ice-templating of aqueous dispersions. Estimates of the solid and gas conduction contributions to the thermal conductivity of the foams using a parallel resist...
