A team of researchers working at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology claim to have developed a way to make cellulose fibers stronger than steel on a strength-to-weight basis. In what is ...

Until now, old clothes have mainly been incinerated. Using adapted processes from paper production, it is possible to recover ...

It may soon be possible to produce a low cost, high-value, high-strength fiber from a biodegradable and renewable waste product for air filtration, water filtration and agricultural nanotechnology, ...

Researchers at VTT, Finland, have been able to transmit light through an optical fiber based on a wood derivative. The fiber, which is made of cellulose, is best suited for sensors that could benefit ...

Researchers have developed an internationally significant new process for working wood cellulose into a textile fibre. New solutions for using fibre-based materials in textile processes attract global ...

Flexible plastic and corrugated paperboard packaging supplier Rengo Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan) has leveraged its cellulose production technology to develop a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) via an ...

A new long cellulose fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) resin developed by Japan’s Polyplastics Group targets automotive applications, such as door module carriers, center consoles, and armrest cores ...

You may have noticed an increasing number of hangers in high street fashion outlets sporting clothing made with the environmentally conscious shopper in mind. Organic cotton, hemp, bamboo and even ...

Researchers have revealed a new molecular mechanism by which bacteria adhere to cellulose fibers in the human gut. Thanks to two different binding modes, they can withstand the shear forces in the ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- It may soon be possible to produce a low cost, high-value, high-strength fiber from a biodegradable and renewable waste product for air filtration, water filtration and agricultural ...
