Implication

Critical review highlights processing-structure-property relationships in biodegradable foams, suggesting scalability and circular design implications.

Key Points

  • The review investigates the advancements in sustainable and biodegradable foams, focusing on processing-structure-property relationships and scalability.
  • Critically reviews bio-based polyurethane, polysaccharide-based, and biodegradable polyester foam systems.
  • Analyzes processing techniques like melt rheology and supercritical CO2 processing.
  • Explores trade-offs in porosity, flame retardancy, and mechanical integrity.
  • Achieved ultralow thermal conductivity of ∼0.031 W/m·K in cellulose foams using directional freezing.
  • Highlighted excellent mechanical resilience in polyester-based microcellular foams from rheological tuning.
  • Indicated limitations in recycling bio-based polyurethane foams due to thermoset chemistry.
