In this work, wet cellulose aerogel sheet was prepared via NaOH/urea dissolution system followed by multiple solvent exchanges. Firstly, hyacinth cellulose solution was prepared and then cast into plastic mold. The casting solution was left standing to become solid hydrogel. Then, multiple solvent exchanges by water was carried out in order to remove NaOH and urea completely to obtain wet hydrogel. Then, transparent cellulose sheet was successfully prepared by backfilling the nano/micro sized aerogel channel with a refractive index matching polymer which was PMMA emulsion in this study. The transparent cellulose sheet exhibited 80-90 percent transparency. In contrast, cellulose aerogel exhibited relatively low percent transmittance only 8.24%. In addition, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of transparent cellulose sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm (10.45 ppmK-1) was significantly lower that pure PMMA sheet (79.70 ppmK-1), indicating that aerogel based transparent cellulose exhibited lower thermal expansion than neat plastic.

Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) with high specific strength have been of interest for numerous researchers. In the current study, Mg matrix nanocomposites reinforced with AlN nanoparticles were produced using the mechanical stirring-assisted casting method. Microstructure, hardness, physical, thermal and electrical properties of the produced composites were characterized in this work. According to the microstructural evaluations, the ceramic nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed within the matrix by applying a mechanical stirring. At higher AlN contents, however, some agglomerates were observed as a consequence of a particle-pushing mechanism during the solidification. Microhardness results showed a slight improvement in the mechanical strength of the nanocomposites following the addition of AlN nanoparticles. Interestingly, nanocomposite samples were featured with higher electrical and thermal conductivities, which can be attributed to the structural effect of nanoparticles within the matrix. Moreover, thermal expansion analysis of the nanocomposites indicated that the presence of nanoparticles lowered the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) in the case of nanocomposites. All in all, this combination of properties, including high mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, together with low CTE, make these new nanocomposites very promising materials for electro packaging applications.
