——Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. promotes innovation in green aviation materials

As the global aviation industry moves towards a development stage of lighter weight, safer, greener and high-function integration, aviation equipment manufacturing is facing an important turning point in the upgrading of material systems. Although traditional metal materials and carbon fiber composite materials have experienced multiple generations of evolution, they still have bottlenecks in terms of sustainability, manufacturing energy consumption, and functional compatibility. Nanocellulose ( Nanocellulose ), as a new generation of advanced composite material reinforcement technology, is widely considered to be an important direction for future aviation material innovation due to its ultra-high specific strength, functionalizable interface, and green and sustainable characteristics .

In the classification, cellulose nanocrystals ( CNC ) show excellent engineering potential in the field of high-performance structural materials due to their high crystallinity ( >80% ), excellent rigid modulus (up to 150 GPa ), and controllable nanosize ( 5~20 nm×100~500 nm ) .

Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. has long been deeply engaged in CNC technology research and development. In response to the demand for aviation material properties, from process breakthroughs to flame retardant functionalization, from stable mass production to system compatibility verification, it is promoting the accelerated implementation of nanocellulose materials into large-scale aviation industry systems.
