For centuries, cellulose has formed the basis of the world's most abundantly printed-on material: paper. Now, thanks to new research at MIT, it may also become an abundant material to print ...

Cellulose acetate was first prepared by Paul Schützenberger in 1865. It took another 29 years before Charles Cross and Edward Bevan patented a process for its manufacture. At about the same time, ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a way to use plant cellulose as a feedstock for 3D printers, providing another renewable, biodegradable alternative to popular petroleum-based polymers like ABS ...

This project aims to address the challenges and opportunities in the green expansion of battery technology, particularly the transition from conventional lithium-based batteries (LIBs) to solid-state ...

As previously discussed, nanotechnology is now used to produce materials with extremely high surface-to-mass and surface-to-volume ratios. Electrospinning is a well-known technique for the preparation ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers successfully synthesized and modified the performance of cellulose acetate nanofilter membranes in order to separate nitro-aromatic poisons from water (see paper in ...

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) is an amorphous, transparent thermoplastic quite like cellulose acetate but more expensive and tougher with improved weathering resistance and lower moisture ...

The authors investigate the effects of a polyethylene glycol plasticizer and water on cellulose acetate film properties. Cellulose acetate (CA) is a polymeric excipient widely used in pharmaceutical ...
