Bamboo waste makes plastic 173% tougher and blocks signals

Original: Bamboo waste makes plastic 173% tougher, blocks unwanted signals in smartphones Chinese researchers have recently come u

Chinese researchers have developed a bamboo-reinforced plastic made from bamboo waste that is significantly tougher than conventional plastic, with reported improvements of up to 173%. The material can also shield smartphones from unwanted electromagnetic signals. The development highlights how agricultural byproducts could replace petroleum-based materials in electronics while solving an e-waste and interference problem.

Why now: A novel use of bamboo waste that both strengthens plastic and blocks electromagnetic signals offers environmental and practical benefits for electronics.
