Engineers at MIT have developed a way to use plant cellulose as a feedstock for 3D printers, providing another renewable, biodegradable alternative to popular petroleum-based polymers like ABS ...
In this manuscript, the scalability and recyclability of the catalytic transesterifications of polysaccharides with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimOAc) as both the solvent and the ...
Woods Hole, MA. (December 8, 2021) -- Cellulose diacetate (CDA), a bio-based plastic widely used in consumer goods, disintegrates, and degrades in the ocean far quicker than previously assumed, ...
Researchers made a strong, flexible plastic from plant cellulose that breaks down quickly in natural environments, unlike ...
THE method described by Kohn 1 for the analysis of serum proteins by zone electrophoresis on strips of cellulose acetate membrane has been proved to be of great value. The development of this ...
A new biodegradable plastic from plant cellulose breaks down in seawater without microplastics. It may be a sustainable ...
Sometimes I’m asked how the ideas for these columns come about. In this case, it was seeing a discarded overhead projector. That brought back memories of my first teaching experience in 1973 when ...
