Scientists at the University of Houston may have taken a big step toward solving one of the world’s most pressing environmental problems. They’ve engineered sheets of bacterial cellulose (essentially ...

The Microcrystalline Cellulose market comprises major players such as Arkema SA (France), Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan), BASF SE (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (US), Covestro AG (Germany), ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Some carbon dioxide absorbed by fig trees gets turned into calcium carbonate within the wood and the surrounding soil, ensuring that the carbon is kept out of the air for longer ...

This transmission electron microscope image shows cellulose nanocrystals, tiny structures that give trees and plants their high strength, light weight and resilience. The nanocrystals might be used to ...

The researchers had previously demonstrated that altering the crystal structure of native cellulose to cellulose III accelerates enzymatic deconstruction; however, the recent observation that ...

As mentioned earlier, the crystalline structure of cellulose affects the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of cellulose fibers. Thus, it is paramount to ascertain the structure of cellulose ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...
