  Optically transparent armour reinforced with microbially-synthesized cellulose nanofibres with self-repair capability
Imperial College London Faculty of Engineering
  Dr K Lee
Applications accepted all year round
Microbially-synthesised cellulose nanofibres, more commonly known as bacterial cellulose (BC), is an ultra-pure form of cellulose nanofibers with mechanical performance exceeding that of single E-glass or Kevlar fibre.
