For centuries, cellulose has formed the basis of the world's most abundantly printed-on material: paper. Now, thanks to new research at MIT, it may also become an abundant material to print ...

Biomimetic processing using a solution mimicking the inorganic composition of the body fluid of humans (simulated body fluid (SBF)) may be one of the more promising routes for the construction of ...

Cellulose acetate was first prepared by Paul Schützenberger in 1865. It took another 29 years before Charles Cross and Edward Bevan patented a process for its manufacture. At about the same time, ...

Wacker Chemie has developed a process for making vinyl acetate, a key ingredient in its polymer dispersions, from cellulosic materials. Wacker first converts cellulose into ethanol in a fermentation ...

This project aims to address the challenges and opportunities in the green expansion of battery technology, particularly the transition from conventional lithium-based batteries (LIBs) to solid-state ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers successfully synthesized and modified the performance of cellulose acetate nanofilter membranes in order to separate nitro-aromatic poisons from water (see paper in ...

A surface displays structural colors when light is reflected by tiny, regular structural elements in a transparent material. Researchers have now developed a method to make structural colors from ...
