I wonder how similar it is to Roechling's Lignoprotect bulletproof densified wood panels - https://www.roechling.com/industrial/products/composites/gfr...

edit - Since reading about densified wood, I have been wondering about if you can get paper to join to itself using pressure and the right chemicals. If so, you could form it into tubes by rolling it round a metal bar, and maybe even make the laminated paper bicycle from Gibson's Virtual Light.



Isn't that effectively the construction material for the ship Albatross in 'Robur the Conqueror' ?


Absolutely, yes. Paper compressed with an hydraulic press.


between this, and cellulose based frame material for construction and vehicles.. we may cross the CO2 emissions from a lot of industries off :)
