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 ...

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 ...

Kombucha fermentation waste becomes a renewable source of strong, compostable cellulose films that support durable flexible ...

Bacterial Cellulose Supermaterials Break Strength Barriers Scientists at Rice University and University of Houston have ...

Last week two women scientists explained how plants build the cellulose membranes that form cell walls, a process of vital interest to textile technologists. Unable to see how plants manufacture their ...

We may soon be finishing off a box of cereal and then eating the bag it came in. Researchers have turned to bacteria-produced cellulose to create a composite packaging material to replace plastic. The ...

Researchers experimented with different combinations of zwitterionic molecules to produce a solvent that is liquid below 100°C and very effective at breaking down cellulose. This research may lead to ...

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: ...
