High Science: How Hemp Is The Most Effective Super-Material
Magic things happen when you get down to the nanoscale. Suspensions of gold or silver particles change colors; calcium carbonate molecules can be arranged to either produce beautiful opalescent abalone or dusty chalk. The way things are put together is the difference between coal and diamonds, so what hasĀ scientists so excited about hemp nanotechnology?
Why hemp?
Currently, nano-celluloseĀ is made primarily with wood fiber, but only part of the wood is usable in this process. In addition to being a sustainable resource that takes far less time to mature than trees, hemp stalk contains a whopping 77% cellulose! Those factors combined with the ease of extracting the material from Mother Natureās wonder plant mean that hemp-based nano-celluloseĀ can be produced for 1/1000th the cost of standard graphene nano-sheets.
What can Nano-Cellulose do?
