When manufacturing cellulose-based products, challenges, such as the high melting point of cellulose, make it impossible for it to be melted without decomposition. Thus, shaping cellulose materials ...

The discovery unveils the molecular machinery that plants use to weave cellulose chains into cable-like structures called 'microfibrils.' New research from the University of Virginia School of ...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has a significant role in membrane production for water purification and bio-separation, with capacity to create new and cleverly designed structures. The researchers ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as a promising biopolymer across diverse sectors, ranging from biomedicine, food packaging, electronics, and textiles, ...

Using cellulose nanofibers from wood, researchers have made paper that can be tuned using a slow heat treatment to be effective semiconductors, some almost as conductive as metals (ACS Nano 2022, DOI: ...

Researchers at Penn State have developed a plant-based material that can selectively recover dysprosium, ...
