The team is calling it transparent paperboard (tPB). The material is made completely of cellulose and its composition is ...

This allows for hydrogen bonds to form between cellulose chains as the newly made paper dries (Fig. 2b). For some paper products, such as toilet paper, hydrogen bonding between cellulose chains is all ...

The millimeter-thick paperboard behaves just like plastic; it's strong, transparent, shapeable—and can hold boiling water.

The global market for micro and nanocellulose is set for rapid growth through 2035, driven by demand for sustainable, high-performance alternatives to petroleum-based materials. With applications in ...
