Term cryogel is used for aerogels prepared by freeze drying process. Aerogels are low density and highly porous solid-state structure, consisting of nano-dimensional materials. Highly porous and exclusive structure of aerogel has various properties such as low thermal conductivity, high sound absorption capacity, low dielectric constant, super absorption activity and, they are super lightweight. Thermal and acoustic insulators, flexible energy storage devices, drugs, and catalyst carrier as well as template for other functional materials are a few possible application areas where the unique combination of aerogel properties can come in hand. Cellulose is biodegradable, abundant and renewable resource material for preparation of composites and cellulosic aerogels.1 Cellulosic composites and aerogels gathered great interest in research field for the past decade, but not much research is done to reproduce wood like structure aerogels or composites and is relatively unstudied area.
