In a way, yes. The very fine structure of cellulose aerogel will allow it to be used in tiny pieces while retaining their characteristics—very stiff and magnetic, or magnetic, flexible ...

As it consists of pure cellulose, the new aerogel is biocompatible with living tissues and cells. Its porous structure is able to absorb drugs and then release them into the body over a long period of ...

Aerogel, known as the world’s lightest solid, boasts a density so low that it’s composed of 99.8% air, making it lighter than ...

When coated in methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), the cellulose aerogel becomes very hydrophobic ... Besides keeping heat contained within the structure, it would resist moisture buildup, add strength ...

Cellulose soaked in a carefully designed ... the resulting material has the same structure as a washing sponge, an aerogel. Adding a substance known as polysilane causes the sponge to become ...

How do aerogels, made with cellulose and PEDOT:PSS, transform terahertz signal paths and attenuators? This article delves into their fabrication process, performance, and potential for sustainable ...

Inspired by the structure of plant leaves, a team of researchers in China has created a core-shell structural cellulose nanofiber-based aerogel (called Core-Shell@CNF for short) that promises to ...

A research team from the University of Alberta has developed a highly robust, compressible, anisotropic, and fire-retardant ...

Researchers have shown that the transmission of terahertz light through an aerogel made of cellulose and a conducting polymer can be tuned. This is an important step to unlock more applications ...
