Method assembles nanofibers into a material stronger than spider silk

Researchers in Sweden have produced a bio-based material that is reported to surpass the strength of all known bio-based materials whether fabricated or natural, including wood and spider silk. Working with cellulose nanofibers (CNF), the essential building block of wood and other plant life, the researchers report that they have overcome the difficulty in translating the … Continue reading Method assembles nanofibers into a material stronger than spider silk
