Nanocellulose upgrades the experience of water bombs from 'fragile' to 'strong'

1. Application background

In water bomb confrontation games, water bombs need to withstand strong impact at high-speed launches, frontal hits, etc. Traditional water bombs are prone to cracking and fragmentation in such scenarios, which not only affects continuous use, but also weakens the player's immersion and game fun. The customer hopes that through material optimization, the water bomb while maintaining safety and appearance, and the gaming experience will be significantly upgraded.will be stronger and more durable 。

Nanocellulose, as a high-performance material with natural origin and designable structure, relies on its unique three-dimensional network structure, high surface specific area, good hydrophilic dispersion, high transparency, stable chemical properties, and rich hydroxyl groups on the surface that can be modified . Nanocellulose can be introduced into the hydroelastic gel system to overall strengthen the water elastic structure, so that when the water elastic gel is subjected to an instant impact, it can effectively buffer external forces instead of directly rupturing.

What is nanocellulose？

Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) are ultrafine cellulose fibers made from wood. Wood pulp (papermaking raw material) produced through traditional papermaking technology is relaxed to the nanometer level. This is a new material derived from biomass, also known as nanocellulose.

CNF is as thin as a few nanometers, is considered transparent, has unique viscous properties, is light and strong, and has less deformation due to temperature changes, and is used in many fields.

● Nano = one millionth of the length of 1 millimeter

Process of producing nanocellulose CNF from wood pulp

1. The wood is crushed into small pieces and processed into wood chips (about 5cm wide and about 1cm thick)

2. Extract fiber from wood chips and make pulp in paper mill

3. The pulp is chemically treated to make it thinner and easier to loosen (chemical modification).

4. Apply high pressure to loosen wood fibers (pulp)

We chemically treat the pulp produced in the mill and introduce ionic functional groups into the cellulose, which forms wood fibers. The electrostatic repulsion of this functional group promotes nanoscale defibrillation of fibers while ensuring stable diffusion of elongated fibers in the range of a few nanometers (a few nanometers).

Fibers that are as thin as a few nanometers are thinner than the wavelength of visible light (400 nanometers to 700 nanometers), so they pass the light and become transparent.

2. Customer core needs

1. Improve the impact resistance of water bombs at the moment of high-speed launch and impact

2. Improve the ' fragile and brittle ' pain points of water bombs

3. Enhance the toughness and rebound feedback at the moment of impact

4. Reduce the breakage rate and improve overall playability

Application solution

Nanocellulose is introduced into the hydroelastic gel system to strengthen the overall structure of the water elastic gel, so that when the water elastic gel is subjected to an instant impact, it can effectively buffer external forces instead of directly rupturing.

This solution does not change the use method and appearance of the water bomb, but improves its strength, toughness and impact resistance from the structural level.。

Practical application effect

After adding nanocellulose, the performance of water bombs has changed significantly:

Under high-speed impact, water bombs no longer explode easily

The moment of stress changes from brittle fracture to ductile deformation

The hit feedback is fuller and the rebound feels more realistic

During the continuous game, the complete rate of water bombs is significantly improved.

Water bombs still maintain stable performance in fierce confrontations and high-frequency use scenarios.

3. Game experience improvement comparison

experience dimension	traditional water bomb	Nanocellulose reinforced water bomb
Instant impact resistance	Easy to break	Strong and impact resistant
hit feedback	A bit brittle and stiff	Full and elastic
Damage rate	Higher	significantly reduced
Play time	Easy to decay	Durable and stable
overall experience	generally	Significant improvement

Common feedback from players in actual experience:

Water bombs are stronger and more resistant, and the overall game process is smoother and more impactful.

4. Case summary

By introducing nanocellulose into the water bomb system, the water bomb has successfully upgraded its performance from ' fragile ' to ' strong ' . This solution effectively improves the instantaneous impact resistance of water bombs, reduces the breakage rate, and at the same time enhances hit feedback and game immersion, bringing higher playability and better user experience to water bomb products.

This application case has good stability and replicability, and can provide a mature reference for the performance upgrade of water bombs and related entertainment hydrogel products.

From a formulation engineering perspective, nanocellulose is essentially a ' structural suspending agent ' rather than a thickener in the traditional sense.
