Electrically conductive aerogels composed of cellulose and carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: Aerogels composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cellulose were fabricated by the flash freezing/lyophilization process using wet-gel precursors, which were regenerated from a homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in alkaline-urea aqueous solution as mentioned in this paper.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
