Empa researchers have now succeeded in combining all these advantages in a single material. And their cellulose-based, 3D-printable aerogel can do even more. The miracle material was created under the ...

The aerogel prepared in Gong's lab is made of cellulose nanofibrils (sustainable wood-based materials) and an environmentally friendly polymer. Furthermore, these cellulose-based aerogels are made ...

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have shown, in a study published in the journal Advanced Science, that the transmission of terahertz light through an aerogel made of cellulose and a ...

For their research, the EMPA team created an aerogel that uses nanofibres of cellulose harvested from wood and suitable for a wide range of chemical alterations. Such cellulose-based aerogels have ...

In the journal Angewandte Chemie ("Ultralight, Flexible, and Fire-Resistant Carbon Nanofiber Aerogels from Bacterial Cellulose"), Chinese scientists have now introduced a simple technique for the ...
