Australian Researchers Develop Stronger Condoms Using Grass Fibers
Scientists at the University of Queensland in Australia have extracted cellulose fibers from native spinaflex grass to enhance latex. These fibers are added to latex to create a stronger and thinner condom. Researchers have also mixed graphene, a carbon-based material, into latex to improve both strength and heat conductivity. Researchers also extracted cellulose fibers from native Spinifex grass to add to latex for creating stronger and thinner condoms. The study aims to enhance material properties using both carbon-based graphene and plant-derived fibers. No specific institution or lead researcher was named in the report. Researchers are conducting experiments involving the use of graphene in condoms. The source described graphene as a carbon-based wonder material. The source confirmed that no gelatine-based condoms currently exist.
