A one-step process seeds cellulose aerogel with conductive nanoparticles to create a flexible 3D superconductor with high capacitance and conductance. Cellulose, a renewable and sustainable material ...

Cel7A cellulase enzymes (gold) are inhibited when breaking down cellulose (green) by the product, cellobiose, at both the “front door" (1) and “back door" (2) of the Cel7A tunnel, and by two other ...

In a significant advancement for sustainable industrial practices, a team of international researchers have conducted a systematic review, uncovering 299 alternative substrates across 12 industries ...

In work aimed at developing superhydrophobic biofiber surfaces, polymer scientists in Sweden have shown that filter paper can be turned into a water-resistant, self-cleaning material. Water droplets ...

Cellulose substrates cannot be employed by biological indicators (BIs) in hydrogen peroxide operations to inoculate spores during manufacturing. Paper and other cellulose products can react negatively ...
