Nanocellulose is a modern form of the natural plant-based polymer, cellulose. Plants rely on cellulose to maintain the strength and structure of cell walls. For hundreds of years, the properties of ...

For the first time, a hydrogel material made of nanocellulose and algae has been tested as an alternative, greener architectural material. The study shows how the abundant sustainable material can be ...

The world’s hottest new supermaterial isn’t as fancy as you might think; in fact, it’s produced by feeding wood pulp to algae. The result, nanocellulose, is amazingly light, super-strong, and conducts ...

Researchers investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties of different bio-based UV ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanocellulose, a specialized type of cellulose processed to create nanoscale fibers, represents a significant advancement in the materials industry. These fibers possess ...

What's brown and sticky, lightweight, flexible, stronger than steel, stiffer than Kevlar, and conducts electricity? Nanocellulose. Oh, isn't actually brown and sticky either: it's transparent. Share ...
