Chemists in Japan, Canada and Europe have uncovered flaws in the surface structure of cellulose nanocrystals—an important step toward deconstructing cellulose to produce renewable nano-materials ...

A re cellulose nanocrystals harmful to human health? The answer might depend on the route of exposure, according to a review of the literature by a Virginia Tech scientist, but there have been few ...

A team of chemical engineering researchers studied the mechanisms of drying the nanocrystals and proposed nanotechnology to render the nanocrystals highly redispersible in aqueous mediums, while ...

(Nanowerk News) Erlantz Lizundia-Fernandez, who lectures in the UPV/EHU's Department of Graphic Design and Engineering Projects, works with renewable polymers. "We are seeking to drive forward the ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Nexus Journal, researchers examined the barrier effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on mosquitoes.

You can never have too much ice cream, but you can have too much ice in your ice cream. Adding plant-based nanocrystals to the frozen treat could help solve that problem, researchers reported March 20 ...

Recently, rare earth elements (REE) have become a fundamental part of advanced industries. However, industries suffer a shortage in REE materials, predominantly due to the lack of robust recovery ...
