To make their products, the team pours liquid cellulose into a single 3D printed mold. What comes out is a fully completed shirt or sneaker. The final products are biodegradable, and the whole ...

The process uses ionic liquids such as 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enium acetate ([DBNH][OAc]) and 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-enium acetate ([mTBDH][OAc]) to dissolve cellulose and ...

We limit ourselves to studies involving aqueous liquid crystalline suspensions of CNCs and do not discuss suspensions of microfibrillated cellulose. Revisiting and reanalyzing some previously ...

Chemical company BASF owns a patent on an ionic liquid-based cellulose processing method developed by Rogers, and is trying to apply that method on a commercial scale. It’s already working with ...

The discovery paves way for enzymatic refinement of cellulose to precious molecules and industrial products. The results have been published in the journal ChemSusChem. Ionic liquids are salts in ...

Simplifyber is redesigning fashion production with a cellulose-based, liquid fiber that can be molded for a variety of applications, including shoe uppers — bypassing 60% of traditional manufacturing ...

Cellulose is insoluble in most solvents but can be dissolved in strong alkaline aqueous solution. By making this reactant in a liquid phase or aqueous solution, a continuous fuel supply could be ...
