The development has the potential to enhance safety and minimize environmental impact, according to researchers. During oil ...

A study reveals that cellulose-based glitter, made from natural sources, is non-toxic to soil organisms. In contrast, ...

Among these, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), derived from renewable resources, have shown great potential for use in composites, biomedical materials, and packaging. However, a major challenge in ...

University of CambridgeGlitter is a major pollutant, with the microplastic commonly found in sewage sludge and wastewater, ...

As the principle structural polysaccharide in plants, cellulose has been extensively characterized over many decades. In recent years, however, exciting new cellulosic materials have been ...

There are several types of nanocellulose, including cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), each with unique properties that make them suitable ...

called anionic hairy cellulose nanocrystals (AHCNC), which was capable of preventing scale formation but was unable to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions. They then developed a new type of ...

The material can also be used in other equipment handling water-oil emulsions. Their results were published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces ("Antiscaling Pickering Emulsions Enabled by ...
