Disclosed is a new composite material comprising nanocellulose and hemp or a hemp-derived component, such as pure hemp, hemp bast fibers, hemp inner fibers, hemp shives, hemp leaves, hemp seeds, or ground hemp. The nanocellulose may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, and may include cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, cellulose microfibrils, or a combination thereof. This invention provides construction blocks or panels; engineered parts; fire-resistant objects; coatings; containers; textile compositions; and fabric materials, for example. The composite material may also include one or more additives to modify mechanical, thermal, chemical, and/or electrical properties. The addition of nanocellulose can improve the mechanical properties of hemp-containing concrete mixtures to improve compressive strength for construction purposes.

A composition for addition to a ceiling tile, flooring product, or other construction product may include microfibrillated cellulose and optionally an inorganic particulate material. The ceiling tile, flooring product, or other construction product may further include perlite, mineral wool, wood pulp, starch and other additives, where the wood pulp and other inorganic particulate materials are bonded to the microfibrillated cellulose. Methods of manufacturing the compound are also disclosed.

Green ceramic mixtures include at least one inorganic component, at least one organic binder, and a stable emulsion including at least one lubricant, at least one aqueous solvent, and at least one emulsifier. Methods for forming ceramic bodies include forming a green ceramic mixture including a stable emulsion and extruding the green ceramic mixture. The methods and green ceramic mixtures can be used to produce green and fired ceramic bodies.

Disclosed is an aqueous bonding composition comprising: (A) a modified saccharide which is a product of (a) a saccharide and (b) a radical initiator. The composition further preferably comprises a structure based on (c) an amine. The composition further preferably comprises (B) an inorganic acid salt. The formaldehyde-free aqueous bonding composition can contribute to an improvement in mechanical properties such as strength and elastic modulus of a molded article, compared to a formaldehyde-containing phenol resin composition.
