Scattered in gardens or lining the cages of household pets, it is a commodity that attracts little attention. Luckily, a team of researchers in Æ»¹ûÒùԺ’s Department of Chemistry developed a method to create carboxylated crystalline nano-cellulose using this often-ignored by-product of the pulp and paper industry. This super material has the potential to dramatically alter not just one, but multiple industries.</p> Thu, 22 Dec 2022 22:57:20 +0000 Junji Nishihata 748 at /research
