A research team in Japan, led by Nagoya University’s Akira Yokoi, has developed an innovative technique using cellulose nanofiber (CNF) sheets derived from wood cellulose to capture extracellular ...

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. This makes it ...

The findings have been reported in Advanced Functional Materials ("Bioinspired Dynamic Matrix Based on Developable Structure of MXene-Cellulose Nanofibers (CNF) Soft Actuators"). The integration of ...

(Nanowerk News) Single-use plastics have saved many lives by improving sanitation in healthcare. However, the sheer quantity of plastic waste – which can take from tens to hundreds of years to ...
