Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a process for preparing a cellulosic sponge comprising treating an aqueous suspension of cellulose fibers with periodate; adjusting the pH of the resulting dialdehyde cellulose fibers suspension to 2.5 to 5.5; freezing the suspension obtained and thawing the three dimensional structure to render the cellulosic sponge. The process may further comprise a step of drying to render a cellulosic foam. Both the new sponge and the new foam of the invention may also be further chemically modified obtaining a broad variety of derivatives with tailored properties which useful in many different applications. |
