Researchers at Sichuan University have demonstrated the use of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) to enhance the mechanical strength of graphene-based films and lower the production costs of the material.

A moldable, pliable, shapeable dough of graphene oxide has been developed by mixing ultrahigh concentrations with water.

Researchers in South Korea have found a bacteria that can degrade endocrine-disrupting phthalates, including dibutyl phthalate.

In a study published in Nano Letters, researchers have made silk which is stronger, tougher and electrically conductive by feeding carbon nanotubes and graphene to silkworms.

In a recently published article in the journal ACS Applied Material & Interfaces, Jeff Youngblood and colleagues from Purdue University demonstrated the use of a shear-coating technique to developed gas barrier nanocellulose films which were anisotropic, allowing the researchers to control the volume of gas in the system.
