Hydrophobization of Nanocellulose Aerogels.
Cellulose aerogels are biocompatible and biodegradable, but their extreme sensitivity to water limits their real-world applications. Effective hydrophobization typically requires high hydrophobe loadings, particularly for high surface area, mesoporous aerogels. Here, we react acid chlorides with surface hydroxy groups...
