Abstract

by 0.5% cellulose fiber addition. However, cellulose fiber addition over 0.5% resulted in irregular pore morphology, ultimately impairing the mechanical performance of the LPUF. Cellulose and lignin are the major constructional constituents of woody biomass. The application of these natural polymers in polyurethane materials contributes to sustainable development and carbon neutrality.
