Abstract
Chemically crosslinked foams possess good wet mechanical stability, and they are promising systems for applications in oil recovery, water treatment, energy storage, etc. However, reports on the effect of crosslinker length on the physical properties of the foam are scarce. Various cellulose nanofiber (CNF) foams (denoted as CPM) were prepared using different molecular weights dicarboxylated-PEG crosslinkers via the esterification reaction. The effect of PEG chain length on the crosslinking efficiency, mechanical strength, porosity, wettability, and oil recovery performance of the produced foams was elucidated. Additionally, the application potential of CPM 600 foam was explored as a nutrient promoter and water retention platform in the field of sustainable agriculture. This fundamental research could provide guidance for the preparation of high-performance porous materials.
期刊介绍：
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
