Researchers have turned to bacteria-produced cellulose to create a composite packaging material to replace plastic. The material is not only robust and sustainable to produce, but it’s also ...

The key to this innovative material lies in cellulose, the natural substance that makes up the cell walls of plants. Until recently, creating a stiff, waterproof form of cellulose had been a ...

The material has 50% more tensile strength than steel with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s ten-times better.

InventWood aims to launch its strong and environmentally friendly product this summer. It’s called Superwood. Maryland-based ...

Plant-derived materials such as cellulose often exhibit thermally insulating properties. A new material made from nanoscale cellulose fibers shows the reverse, high thermal conductivity.

When you get up into cold regions, you might be in an area where ice and snow are the only abundant resources you have, and ...

Cambridge University spin-out Impossible Materials has developed a cellulose-based, white pigment to replace titanium dioxide in food applications. FoodNavigator catches up with CEO Lukas Schertel to ...

However, when working with natural materials such as cellulose, lignin or chitin, researchers face a trade-off. Although these substances are biodegradable in their pure form, they are often not ...

Cellulose is an affordable, eco-friendly, and easy-to-use material. It insulates hard-to-reach areas and fits around in-wall obstructions. Blown-in cellulose also boasts one of the highest R ...
