The present disclosure provides a method for preparing an aerogel or a foam, the method comprising: forming a reaction mixture comprising a cellulose nanofibril gel, a first solvent, and one or more crosslinking agents under conditions sufficient to crosslink the gel; and contacting the crosslinked gel with a second solvent under conditions sufficient to dry the crosslinked gel, thereby forming an aerogel or foam.

[Problem] To provide a resin particle having excellent heat resistance and flexibility.

[Solution] A resin particle in which a mass loss rate after being immersed in distilled water at 70° C. for 14 days is less than 10%, and in which a mass loss rate after being left in a compost having a composition shown below at 55° C. for 14 days is 90% or more.

High concentrations of recycle polymer are gasified in a partial oxidation gasifier to make a syngas useful to make a variety of chemicals and polymers, such as cellulose ester. Polymers such as cellulose esters can be made that are obtained from sustainable sources, recycle sources, and are biodegradable. Circularity in the manufacture of textiles and/or plastics made from the fibers of such cellulose esters can now be achieved. The process of making such a syngas from high concentrations of recycle polymer (e.g. textiles and/or plastics) includes campaigning for the production of syngas.

A polymer composition containing cellulose acetate in combination with one or more plasticizers and one or more biodegradable fillers. The biodegradable fillers can include monosaccharides, polysaccharides, esters thereof, and mixtures thereof. The polymer composition is formulated so as to have properties similar to petroleum-based polymers for producing, for example, single-use biodegradable articles.
