I remember the sick feeling when I wasted a sheet of cotton paper ($3/sheet) because I misunderstood a technique. I could have learned just as well on cellulose on that occasion. This handwavey "just use your nice supplies" thing doesn't acknowledge that expensive fails can demoralized.
I love it. The crocheted lab stuff is brilliant and the research on bacterial cellulose sounds exciting. Looking forward to the next issue. Greetings from Austria!
something similar could be done with cellulose and deep coal mines probably; be easier if it was turned into a dense goo that set up when it cooled maybe www.science.org/content/arti...
Ancient, preserved log shows how carbon could be locked up for centuries underground

Would extraction cellulose from wheat straw that is already available not be more effecient as feedstock for nitrocellulose?
They use a cellulose reactive dye. If you get it on paper or natural fibers, it will stick.

Scientists at MIT have developed a new material made from silk and cellulose that can effectively remove PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," from water.
looking between the variety labels of "memories of tomato past (the pain will never heal)" and "Cellulose Made MEAT ecno style" and sighing dejectedly.
I also avoid polyester :-) Current project is cotton/lycra, also use other cellulose-based fabrics, but I like wool for coats. (It's lovely to work with, if you're not allergic/uncomfortable with it).
