Key Points

  • To explore the use of CO2-assisted foaming in creating biodegradable horticultural substrates using PLA and cellulose acetate blends.
  • Developed blends of PLA and cellulose acetate.
  • Applied CO2 for foaming the substrate materials.
  • Assessed performance characteristics of the foamed blends.
  • Successfully produced peat-free horticultural substrates using CO2 foaming.
  • Demonstrated improved structural properties of the foams for horticultural use.

Abstract

The cover image is based on the article CO 2 ‐Assisted Foaming of PLA–Cellulose Acetate Blends for Peat‐Free Horticultural Substrates by Yuanyuan Chen et al., https://doi.org/10.1002/pen.70472 image
