Scientists spin ultra-strong cellulose fibres at DESY´s
research light source PETRA III
A Swedish-German research team has successfully tested a new
method for the production of ultra-strong cellulose fibres at DESY's research
light source PETRA III. The novel procedure spins extremely tough filaments
from tiny cellulose fibrils by aligning them all in parallel during the
production process. The new method is reported in the scientific journal Nature
Communications.
