Abstract
) cross-linked anisotropic foams were moisture-resilient and displayed a compressive modulus of 90 kPa at 98% relative humidity (RH) and thermal conductivity values close to that of air between 20 and 80% RH at room temperature. Sclerotization-inspired cross-linking of biobased foams offers an energy-efficient and scalable route to produce sustainable and moisture-resilient lightweight materials.
