Engineers use wood pulp to 3D-print stronger concrete for construction.
Researchers from the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have presented a novel solution: cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), a plant-based wonder material.
CNF is extracted from wood pulp, making it both renewable and sustainable.
When applied to concrete, it increases flowability, allowing for smoother printing.
It also increases concrete strength and durability, resulting in constructions that can endure the test of time.
