Super-Strong Paper
Can you imagine having strong paper that can't be torn? Super strong paper may be possible through some advances in nanotechnology. Engineering experts at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden may have found a way to create such a novel product. Imagine a super-light, super-durable, super-strong paper that is made out of tiny nanofibers that are woven together to create paper that is then treated with carboxymethanol. The end result is a product that may be more than six times stronger than conventional paper. Read more at ScienceNow Daily news.
