Cellulose cryogels crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (ECH) were successfully developed from kenaf core biomass via green urea/alkaline solvent system. The effect of ECH concentration (from 3 to 9 wt%) on the pore structure, density, morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, water absorpti...
