Anisotropic, lightweight, strong, and super thermally insulating nanowood with naturally aligned nanocellulose.

The article offers information on a study which examined anisotropic thermal management capabilities of cellulose nanofibrils fabricated nanowood. It mentions that a simple approach is developed for preparation of thermally insulating bulk material through direct chemical treatment of nanowood. It shows that the thermal management, low mass density, and high mechanical strength of the nanowood make the material attractive for thermal insulation applications.
