| Abstract | A novel and facile method that needs only a few steps of dissolution, gelation and supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) drying has been developed to fabricate ultralow density cellulose triacetate aerogels (TAC). In this method, using dioxane as a solvent and isopropanol as a non-solvent, regeneration and solvent exchange are not necessary due to the phase separation and heat-induced gelation and the good solubility of dioxane/isopropanol in ScCO2, thus leading to a more efficient synthesis and better quality of aerogels in terms of less shrinkage and breakage. The relationship between the theoretical density and the actual density of the TAC aerogel is discussed, and the actual density of the aerogels could be well tuned in the range between 5 mg cm−3 and 50 mg cm−3. These newly developed nanostructured TAC aerogels were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption. All the prepared aerogels showed both a nanostructured solid network and a nanoporous network, together with specific fiber sizes of about 30 nm. The fiber thickness and pore sizes are much lower than that of the normal porous polymer materials. The specific surface area of the aerogels with different density ranged from 229 m2 g−1 to 958 m2 g−1, as measured by nitrogen adsorption tests. The porosity of all these aerogels was higher than 96%. The thermodecomposition behavior of TAC aerogels and the original TAC granules was almost the same, with a rather high decomposition temperature. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
