University of Turku researchers find that nanocellulose films with red onion dye provide exceptional UV protection, surpassing standard petroleum-based filters.

The nanocellulose films were treated with red onion extract, lignin, and iron ions respectively, all of which have been found to have good UV-blocking abilities in previous research.

Nanocellulose is enhancing water purification with its strong adsorption properties, providing an effective and sustainable solution to water treatment challenges.

Writing in the journal Carbohydrate Polymers, researchers from India and France have published a comprehensive review of nanocellulose-based aerogel electrodes for use in supercapacitors. Recent ...
