Abstract

Polyethylene oxide (PEO) has been used to produce a porous composite with cellulose nanocrystals via solvent-free aqueous processing and freeze-drying. This material has a microporous structure and an amphipathic nature with a high affinity for oils. The porous structure is retained after carbonisation, producing conductive carbon aerogel-like material.
