An engineer @UHouston has developed a way to turn bacterial cellulose — a biodegradable material — into a multifunctional ...

A mid mounting plastic waste, a US engineer has developed a single-step method to grow strong, biodegradable sheets using bacteria.

The CNM includes nanostructured materials and nanofibers. Cellulose microcrystals and microfibrils fall under nanostructures, while cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and ...

In this regard, cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils and bacterial nanocellulose derived from biomass cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, are increasingly applied to nanocomposites.
