The high specific strength of nanocellulose: leading a new direction for green and lightweight materials

——Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd.

In the global context of achieving the ' dual carbon ' goal, ' green ' is no longer just a synonym for degradability and regeneration, but also a new coordinate for the evolution of material performance . As a new generation of green functional material, Nanocellulose ( Nanocellulose ) is becoming one of the core materials that promote the coexistence of lightweight, energy saving and high performance Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. actively promotes the industrialization and technological expansion of nanocellulose, and is committed to truly transforming this sustainable material into performance support in multiple fields.with its excellent high specific strength characteristics.

1. What is the 'high specific strength' of nanocellulose ?

Specific strength , that is, the tensile strength that the material can withstand per unit mass, is an important indicator for measuring the strength of lightweight materials. Nanocellulose is nano-treated to form structural units with extremely high aspect ratio, combined with a large amount of hydrogen bonding, giving it a mechanical performance that surpasses traditional plastics and is comparable to carbon fibers.。

The specific strength of CNC (cellulose nanocrystals) can reach 7–8 GPa·g/cm³

CNF (cellulose nanofiber) exhibits excellent toughness and crack ductility

The strength under the same mass is much higher than that of aluminum and glass fibers

This makes nanocellulose an ideal material solution that takes into account both lightweight, high-strength, structural strengthening, and environmentally friendly and degradable .

2. Core advantages: not only strong, but also green

1. Structural substitution under the trend of lightweight

Although traditional reinforcement materials such as glass fiber and carbon fiber are highly strong, they often come from petrochemical resources, are non-degradable, and have high manufacturing costs. As a natural source material, nanocellulose can achieve high strength while reducing material weight and carbon footprint.。

2. Intrinsic biocompatibility and processing adaptability

Its natural properties make it directly composited in a variety of matrix materials, such as PLA , starch, rubber, cement, etc., to improve overall strength while maintaining good flexibility and interface stability . It is widely used in daily consumer goods, food packaging, medical products and other fields.

3. Can be produced on a large scale, suitable for industrial promotion

With the help of the nanodissociation technology independently developed by Tianlu, the industrial-grade batch preparation of nanocellulose has mature conditions, providing realistic support for large-scale lightweight material solutions.

3. Application field diagram: From lightweight to high-strength to environmentally friendly closed loop

Application direction	Material role	Performance reflection

Automobile and transportation fields	CNC/PLA composite plastic	Light structure, high strength, renewable
Medical consumables	CNF gel membrane	Flexible fit, mechanical disturbance resistance
Engineering construction materials	CNF-cement composite slurry	Improve crack resistance and dry shrinkage control
Wearable devices	Flexible conductive composite film	Achieve stable support and flexible touch coexist

4. Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd.: Focus on green and high-strength material solutions

Nanjing Tianlu takes ' structural performance + sustainability dual-wheel drive ' as the technical development concept, and has achieved the full process capability from R&D, pilot to large-scale supply. Its products are widely used in scientific research institutions, university laboratories and terminal manufacturing enterprises.

Company advantages include:

Supports high-specific strength test parameter reporting and third-party performance verification

5. Conclusion: Redefine 'green strength' and start with cellulose

The high specific strength of nanocellulose is not only a material property, but also an innovation in industrial logic. Today, when green manufacturing has become a trend, it breaks the traditional concept of ' environmental protection means sacrificing performance ' and achieves the perfect unity of renewable, high-strength, and functional integration.

Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen the material boundaries of nanocellulose , so that it is not just a ' alternative material ' , but a win-win carrier for future structure and function.
