ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a high strength material and a high strength molded article including 65 to 100 wt. % of cellulose microfibrils; and products comprising these. The material, which is lightweight and has a very high strength, can be used for various purposes and can be produced by recycling wastepaper, used cloth and the like. Furthermore, by appropriately selecting the type and/or amount of binder, the material comprising microfibrils as a main component can be decomposed by microbes or the like after being dumped as waste, and is thus friendly to the global environment.
