  Students from NPHS Lansdale, PA, USA and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School Faversham, UK have been researching the development of cellulose nanofibers from ionic liquid systems.

Cellulose nanofibers have never been researched at North Penn before.  This research endeavor is particularly interesting, not only because of the international collaboration, but because cellulose has many inherent properties that could improve the function of nanofibers developed for many applications.
