Nanoporous cellulose nanocomposite foams as high insulated food packaging materials

- Nanocomposite foam-like materials were prepared based on cellulose/SM-MMT.
- The presence of SM-MMT improved the insulation performance of cellulose matrix by reducing the cell sizes.
- The dispersed SM-MMT particles cooperated on the improvement of thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of cellulose matrix.
