3D PRINTING COTTON CELLULOSE BASED CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITES

In 3D printing, the currently used microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have much lower molecular weights and lower degrees of polymerization than raw cotton-based cellulose, which is why they are much easier to dissolve. This technology provides a potentially novel method to produce raw cotton cellulose based conductive...
