Progress in making paper for energy storage

The picture shows the production of electronic paper in a pilot paper machine

Digital Cellulose Center is a Vinnova competence center which includes Linköping University, KTH, RISE. An article in  Ny Teknik, a weekly Swedish magazine in the field of technology and engineering, now highlights the centre’s recent successes in producing electronically conductive paper on a pilot scale. The electrical properties are obtained by using conductive polymers and […]

Nanocellulose aerogels for future biomedical applications

Aerogels of nanocellulose is an extremely leightweight  type of material. The photo shows an aerogel on a part of a flower.

Nanocellulose aerogels are a relatively new type of lightweight material where around 99% of the material consists of air. Research has shown the potential for nanocellulose arogels, among other things, for high-performance insulation and purification of water, but the process of making them has required special equipment such as shock freezing with liquid nitrogen followed […]
