In Australia have discovered how you can enhance latex with spinifex the grass growing on the continent. It is possible to produce nano pulp for use in the production of latex. This will allow to reduce the thickness of condoms to the size of a human hair, while maintaining their strength, reports Phys.org.

On the method of extraction of nanocellulose from common herbs in Australia at the moment, scientists from the University of Queensland. According to Professor Darren Martin, from spinifex additive markedly improves the physical properties of the latex. Membrane get stronger and thinner with good performance of flexibility and elasticity. Scientists hope to make latex condoms are thinner than 30% compared with existing ones.

the Development can be used not only in the production of condoms and in surgical gloves. This allows the hands of doctors to become more sensitive.
