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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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

Yeast left over from brewing beer can be transformed into edible 'scaffolds' for cultivated meat – sometimes known as lab-grown meat – which could ...
