Descripción:	In this paper, nanocellulose (NC) dispersed in glycerin was incorporated into polyurethane (PU) biobased foams, using castor oil and glycerin, in a ratio of 3:1, as a biopolyol, produced by free-rise pouring method. Firstly, the morphologicals properties, measureds by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) images, were investigated and, after, the apparent density and compressives properties were measureds. The results indicated efficience in the preparation method for the biofoams and the filled foams presented a decrease in the cellular anisotropy and linear cell density and an increase in cell diameter, with a more homogenous cell structure. These morphologicals properties justify the modifications caused by the fillers in the biofoams, a larger cell, with less orientation, caused a decrease in the values of the apparent density and consequently lower values in compressive mechanical properties.
