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 ...

Researchers developed a cellulose aerogel with metal-organic frameworks that absorbs microwaves, resists fire, insulates heat ...

Semiconducting nanomaterials with 3D network structures exhibit various fascinating properties such as electrical conduction, high permeability, and large surface areas, which are beneficial for ...

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 ...

A process for making pigments from cellulose for use in cosmetics, food and coatings applications has scaled up from a ...
