A TED Talk ~ Science at its best...plants are amazing | Mar 12, 2018 | ~ Nanocellulose, a tiny fiber with huge applications (or Resilin from Catfish & Human Collagen - nanobio building blueprints) ~ | by Oded Shoseyov - The Hebrew University, together with our partners in Sweden | Blogger: ♨️ Nanocellulose 🌱 - The world's hottest new supermaterial isn't as fancy as you might think; in fact, it's produced by feeding wood pulp to algae. The result, nanocellulose, is amazingly light, super-strong, and conducts electricity. That versatility lends it to plenty of fantastic possible applications.... |

Nanocellulose, a tiny fiber with huge applications - researchgate.net


Nanocellulose is of increasing interest for a range of applications relevant to the fields of material science and biomedical engineering due to its renewable nature, anisotropic shape, excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, tailorable surface chemistry, and interesting optical properties. We discuss the main areas of nanocellulose research: photonics, films and foams, surface modifications, nanocomposites, and medical devices. These tiny nanocellulose fibers have huge potential in many applications, from flexible optoelectronics to scaffolds for tissue regeneration. We hope to impart the readers with some of the excitement that currently surrounds nanocellulose research, which arises from the green nature of the particles, their fascinating physical and chemical properties, and the diversity of applications that can be impacted by this material.
