Strongest bio-based material
Atomistic Tribology

Bio-based material stronger than steel and spider silk altogether

16.05.2018 tribonet 611 Views

Researchers at KTH 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 nanofibre (CNF), the […]
