The new technique uses counter-rotating vortices of heated compressed air to dry the nanofibers from a wet cellulose slurry mixture. The innovation of producing these mini tornadoes to dry cellulose ...

A large-scale fabrication of cellulose glitter has been developed which is biodegradable and plastic-free, meaning the shiny stuff can be made from your fruit bowl! It’s that time of year again when ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Houston may have taken a big step toward solving one of the world’s most pressing environmental problems. They’ve engineered sheets of bacterial cellulose (essentially ...
