1. What is nanocellulose?

Nanocellulose is a functional ultra-fine fiber material that uses natural renewable biomass such as bamboo, wood, cotton and linen, and agricultural and forestry straw as core raw materials. Through green and low-cost processes such as bioenzymatic softening, pretreatment and purification, high-pressure mechanical dissociation, and precise classification modification, traditional micron-level plant fibers are deconstructed and stripped down to the nanometer scale. Its single fiber diameter is only 5-50nm , and it has microstructural characteristics of ultra-high aspect ratio, high crystallinity, and ultra-large specific surface area. It perfectly combines the environmental protection properties of natural biomass with the high-performance advantages of nanomaterials.

The mainstream in the industry divides nanocellulose into three major categories: cellulose nanofibrils ( CNF ) 、, cellulose nanocrystals ( CNC ) and bacterial cellulose ( BC ) . Different categories have different performance focuses, and can be customized according to industry scenarios and functional requirements to meet diversified and refined industrial application requirements.
