Researchers
at Aalto University have succeeded in developing a durable and affordable
nanofibrillar cellulose film platform to support medical testing. New
environmentally friendly, reliable nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) platforms are
more diverse than plastic films.
New film can
be made, for instance, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and the electric charge can be
changed. This will enhance the possibility of conducting thousands of different
medical tests at home or in physicians’ receptions instead of waiting for
results from laboratories.
