From nanocellulose to gold: Self-assembly of mechanoplasmonic bacterial cellulose-metal nanoparticle composites – Science Daily
When nanocellulose is combined with various types of metal nanoparticles, materials are formed with many new and exciting properties. They may be antibacterial, change color under pressure, or convert light to heat.

When nanocellulose is combined with various types of metal nanoparticles, materials are formed with many new and exciting properties. They may be antibacterial, change colour under pressure, or convert light to heat.”To put it simply, we make gold from nanocellulose,” says Daniel Aili, associate professor in the Division of Biophysics and Bioengineering at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Linköping University.
The research group, led by Daniel Aili, has used a biosynthetic na…
