Nanocellulose sponges for oil remediation are another example of the vast range of applications offered by nanocellulose. Developed at EMPA - the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science & Technology - the sponges absorb great quantities of oil while floating on water. The hydrophobic sponges consist of silylated nanocellulose. They can be made from pulp, straw or recycled paper. Read more
