Preparation of Lignocellulosic Aerogel and Its Flame Retardant Modification
Lignocellulose aerogels possess excellent properties of low density,high porosity,low thermal conductivity and so on,making them widely utilized in thermal insulation,adsorption,catalysis,electromagnetic shielding,biomedical and other fields.Moreover,as a bio-based material,lignocellulose is a green,pollution-free,renewable,and sustainable material.In this paper,the latest research progress of wood-based cellulose and agricultural waste-based cellulose aerogels are reviewed.Then the current research status of lignocellulose aerogel preparation methods including freeze-drying,supercritical drying,and atmospheric drying,is summarized.In addition,for the flammability issues commonly found in lignocellulose aerogels,commonly used methods to improve the flame retardancy of lignocellulose aerogels are discussed in detail.Finally,this paper concludes the main problems in lignocellulose aerogel preparation methods and properties,and the future development direction in this field is proposed.
