Biomimetic processing using a solution mimicking the inorganic composition of the body fluid of humans (simulated body fluid (SBF)) may be one of the more promising routes for the construction of ...

Cellulose acetate was first prepared by Paul Schützenberger in 1865. It took another 29 years before Charles Cross and Edward Bevan patented a process for its manufacture. At about the same time, ...

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 ...

Wacker Chemie has developed a process for making vinyl acetate, a key ingredient in its polymer dispersions, from cellulosic materials. Wacker first converts cellulose into ethanol in a fermentation ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers successfully synthesized and modified the performance of cellulose acetate nanofilter membranes in order to separate nitro-aromatic poisons from water (see paper in ...
