Abstract
In this study, lignocellulose-derived aerogel (LA) with compression-rebound was synthesized from liquefied wood through sol-gel polymerization, aging and freeze-drying process. The results presented a gradual increase in the compressive strength, flexural strength, and maximum decomposition temperature of the LA sample with prolonged aging time from 3 to 10 h, demonstrating excellent elasticity and thermal stability. After more than 10 h, the bending strength began to decrease, indicating that the material’s rigidity was greater than its elastic toughness at this time. A nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model based on the Ogden function and parallel rheological framework showed very high correlation with experimental measurement results, and also demonstrated admirable mechanical properties. These predictions can provide an effective approach for the application of LA in buffer packaging.
