Spinneret spins tale of designer fibres made from cellulose

摘要

What was once old is new again. Researchers and technicians from FPInnovations' biomaterials group have joined forces, using their ingenuity to develop an enhanced version of a dated lab device that is now poised to allow for the design of innovative new manufactured fibres on a larger scale. The spinneret is a modular device used to safely and continuously produce fibres by regenerating dissolved cellulos-ic products. It is part of FPInnovations' Next Generation Designer Fibre Facility.
