Completely compostable, the material — a polysaccharide polyelectrolyte complex — is comprised of nearly equal parts of treated cellulose pulp from wood or cotton, and chitosan, which is derived from ...

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2025.137601 Milk protein and cellulose derived from plants may be the next big thing in sustainability, thanks to a first-of-its-kind advancement made by researchers at Penn State.

Natural biopolymers like cellulose and chitin are commonly investigated for sustainable material applications. However, enhancing their properties often involves chemical modifications that reduce ...

The agreement also includes ASHAKOTE, a 30% water-based ethyl cellulose dispersion designed for extended release and moisture protection. This product is suited to markets where organic solvents are ...

Endochitinase Chit33 has shown great potential in converting chitin, a recalcitrant waste, into bioactive chitooligosaccharides (COS). This study evaluates how cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and ...

HÜRTH, Germany — March 24, 2025 — The Cellulose Fibres Conference 2025 (CFC 2025), held March 12-13 in Cologne, Germany, successfully brought together industry leaders, innovators and researchers to ...

Time-resolved tracking of cellulose biosynthesis and assembly during cell wall regeneration in live Arabidopsis protoplasts. Science Advances, 2025; 11 (12) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ads6312 ...

Although the cellulose and chitin are fused on a molecular level to make the "Ct-Cel biomass foam", the production process was completed using readily available equipment. The researchers say that ...

However, the researchers noted that using cellulose and chitin, which for this study they sourced from cotton and squid bone, respectively, would result in a cost-effective and scalable foam known as ...

A foam made of cellulose and chitin can remove up to 99.9% of microplastics from water and maintains efficiency after multiple cycles of use. Microplastic pollution in terrestrial and aquatic ...
