Implication

Experimental study reveals that chemical additives enhance mechanical strength and water stability in cellulose nanofibril foams, highlighting their viability as eco-friendly packaging materials.

Key Points

To fabricate eco-friendly cellulose nanofibril-reinforced thermomechanical pulp foams via oven-drying and evaluate the impact of chemical additives on their physical, thermal, and mechanical performance.
Fabricated biobased foams from thermomechanical pulp fibers reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils through an oven-drying process.
Incorporated additives including Acrodur, iron chloride (FeCl3), and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) at specified concentrations to alter foam properties.
Characterized density, thermal conductivity, compressive and cushioning mechanics, and water absorption stability over a 24-hour immersion period.
Base foams achieved a low thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/(m·K) at a bulk density of 34.4 kg/m3.
Incorporating CPAM and FeCl3 at a 1% dosage produced significantly higher compressive properties due to increased density, accompanied by a slight rise in thermal conductivity.
All chemical additives enhanced moisture resistance, allowing the biobased foams to maintain structural stability after 24 hours of water absorption.
