Artificial Cellulose Synthesizing Machinery for Bottom-up Nanocellulose Manufacturing
Cellulose, the most abundant and renewable biopolymer on Earth, plays a critical role in numerous industries, from textiles and packaging to construction and electronics. Its exceptional mechanical strength, stability, and renewability make it a versatile material with immense potential for driving sustainable innovations. These remarkable properties are rooted in the unique hierarchical structure of cellulose and the crystalline nature of its nanofibers, termed cellulose microfibrils. Despite its importance and the fact that this material has been used since the beginning of human civilization, the intricate molecular processes behind its biosynthesis, carried out by cellulose synthase…
