Electrospinning Cellulose Waste Into Fiber Date: September 11, 2003 Source: Cornell University Summary: It may soon be possible to produce a low cost, high-value, high-strength fiber from a ...

Researchers built tough, compostable bacterial cellulose sheets that rival metals in strength. The material handles heat, and ...

Cellulose waste as a nano-filter "We are working with semi-crystalline nanocellulose, which can be produced from waste material," says Qaisar Maqbool, ...

Consisting of 99.8 percent air, they're highly heat-resistant and are an excellent form of insulation. Now, scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used paper waste to create ...

Also, the raw material for this production process can be either raw cellulose or cellulose waste. Depending on the purity of the material, the resulting fiber can be used for different products.

Biodegradable plastics represent a small but growing fraction of global plastic production, offering a potential solution to ...

Scientists from Switzerland's Empa research group have come up with a method of using waste to contain pollution – they've developed sponges made from cellulose by-products, that can soak up 50 ...

Cornell University polymer scientists have successfully produced nanofibers from cellulose by electrospinning. This may soon produce a low cost, high-value, high-strength fiber for air and water ...
