1. What is a thixotropic modifier? In industrial systems such as coatings, daily chemicals, pesticide suspensions, inks, and composite materials, thixotropic modifiers (Thixotropic Rheology Modifier) ​​are an important functional additive used to regulate the rheological properties of the system. Its main function is to adjust the viscosity of the system, prevent solid particles from settling, improve system stability, and improve construction or use performance. An ideal thixotropic system usually exhibits: high viscosity in a static state, reduced viscosity when subjected to shear, and rapid recovery of structure after shearing is stopped. This structural recovery ability directly determines the stability and user experience of the product. In recent years, with the increasing demand for green materials and sustainable development, nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) has gradually become a new high-performance thixotropic regulating material. 2. Structural advantages of nanocellulose Nanocellulose is prepared from natural cellulose through mechanical, chemical or biological methods.

In the wave of global 'double carbon' goals and iterative upgrades in material technology, nanocellulose, as a new functional material derived from nature and with excellent performance, is breaking the application boundaries of traditional materials by virtue of its unique physical and chemical properties and becoming a core force in promoting green transformation and technological innovation in various industries. As a company deeply involved in the field of new materials, we are deeply involved in the research and development and industrial application of nanocellulose, helping various industries achieve high-quality development and unlocking a new future in the field of materials. Nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) is a nanoscale functional material obtained from natural cellulose after mechanical, chemical or enzymatic processing. The fiber diameter is usually 5-50 nm. It has natural advantages such as high crystallinity, high aspect ratio, renewable and degradable. It is known as the 'super material in the green era'. Its core performance highlights are outstanding: the strength can reach 1–2 GPa, and the Young’s modulus can reach 100–150.

With the continuous development of green materials and sustainable manufacturing concepts, nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) has gradually become a new bio-based material that has attracted much attention in the leather industry. Nanocellulose is derived from natural cellulose resources. It is renewable, degradable and has excellent physical and chemical properties. It shows broad application prospects in leather processing, functional coatings and environmentally friendly alternative materials. 1. Basic characteristics of nanocellulose Nanocellulose is a nanoscale material obtained by dissociating natural cellulose through mechanical, chemical or biological methods. Its diameter is usually between 5-100 nm, and it has a high aspect ratio and specific surface area. Compared with traditional materials, nanocellulose has the following outstanding advantages: High mechanical strength: Nanocellulose materials have excellent strength and rigidity, which can significantly improve the structural stability of composite materials. Good film-forming properties: Nanocellulose can form a dense film structure and can be used for functional coatings
