Vireo Advisors has created a practical handling guide for cellulose nanomaterials with the support of P3Nano – the Public Private Partnership between the USDA Forest Service and the US Endowment for Forestry and Communities to advance the commercialization of cellulose nanomaterials for all users.

Amir Ameli and Xiao Zhang of Washington State University have created a more environmentally-friendly alternative to polystyrene foam (better known as Styrofoam) which performs better than Styrofoam as an insulator and can support up to 200 times its own weight without losing its shape.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have published findings that demonstrate ingested nanocellulose has little acute toxicity when gavaged at low doses.

Vireo Advisors Founder and President Jo Anne Shatkin received the 2019 TAPPI Nanotechnology Division Leadership and Service Award in Chiba, Japan, on June 5 in recognition of her contributions toward establishing the safety of cellulose nanomaterials.

Scientists from the University of Science and Technology Liaoning, China have published a report in Energy Conversion and Management that demonstrates the use of renewable biomass for production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
