POLYMER FOAM INCLUDING NANO-CRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE

A polymer foam is provided. The polymer foam is formed from a composition that includes a polymer, 2% to 10% by weight nano-crystalline cellulose based on the total weight of the polymer foam, and at least one blowing agent. The polymer foam exhibits a reduced thermal conductivity (k-value) and a hi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A polymer foam is provided. The polymer foam is formed from a composition that includes a polymer, 2% to 10% by weight nano-crystalline cellulose based on the total weight of the polymer foam, and at least one blowing agent. The polymer foam exhibits a reduced thermal conductivity (k-value) and a higher water vapor permeability as compared to an otherwise identical polymer foam without nano-crystalline cellulose.
