Research into thermal properties of cellulose nanofibers yields surprising
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Plant-derived materials such as cellulose often exhibit thermally insulating properties. A new material made from nanoscale cellulose fibres shows the reverse, high thermal conductivity. This makes it useful in areas previously dominated by synthetic polymer materials. Materials based on cel

Washington D.C. [USA], Aug 19 (ANI): A team of scientists from Uppsala and Dhaka University, has shown that a locally grown and previously unexploited green macro algae species could be used to extract cellulose nanofibers, which can then be formed into paper sheets with tailored pore size t
