Pexels Anyone who has had their heart broken by images of dolphins or sea turtles struggling or even dying because they got tangled up in plastic waste will know exactly why single-use plastics are ...

Cellulose treatment enables creation of optically transparent paper for use a substrate. We cannot see through ordinary paper because it’s constituent micrometer sized cellulose fibers and large ...

A type of paper that has the thermal properties of glass but is flexible, foldable and optically transparent has been fabricated by scientists in Japan (Adv. Mater. 21, 1595–1598; 2009).

a transparent 3D material made solely of cellulose. Testing of the material showed it worked as well as standard drinking straws, with no signs of the collapse seen in paper straws that are used ...

College Park have printed transparent transistors on transparent paper. The finished device is flexible, up to 84% transparent, and in theory this could be the first step towards green ...

Light does not have to pass from paper back to the eye. The paper is transparent, or, to be more technically correct, translucent. We can read words right through the paper." Similarly ...

Papersmith & Son has launched EnDURO Ice, a new generation of transparent print media, in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Similar in appearance to conventional transparency papers but being a ...

Researchers have used nanotechnology to create transparent transistors and circuits, a step that promises a broad range of applications, from e-paper and flexible color screens for consumer ...

Every year, over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced. About five percent of that ends up in rivers and eventually the sea, or is thrown directly into the ocean by the fishing industry.
