This technology transforms renewable cellulose paper into lightweight, highly complex carbon foam lattices with superior mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity. It's designed for easy customization and uses green feedstock, suitable for aerospace, automobile, sports, medical, and insulation sectors. The carbon foams are durable, supporting about 30% strain before deformation, and have applications in thermal insulation, fire-proofing, and more. It represents a shift towards eco-friendly materials in industries reliant on high-performance materials. The technology is open for collaboration and licensing, targeting markets like battery manufacturing and aerospace.
