As an emerging high-performance green material, nanocellulose (NFC) has gradually become an important additive in the field of coatings and adhesives due to its unique physical and chemical properties. It not only significantly improves the performance of coatings and adhesives, but also meets environmental and sustainable development requirements. This paper combines academic literature and practical application cases to deeply explore the current application status of nanocellulose in coatings and adhesives and its future market prospects.
The unique advantages of nanocellulose make its application prospects in the field of coatings. Its good mechanical properties, transparency, UV resistance and biodegradability make it an ideal material for improving coating performance. The following are some analysis of academic research and application cases.
According to the study of Cao et al. (2017) [1], the addition of nanocellulose as fillers to aqueous coatings can significantly improve the mechanical properties and stability of the coatings. Studies have shown that when the content of nanocellulose in the coating is 2%, its hardness is increased by 25% and its adhesion is increased by 30%. In addition, nanocellulose can also act as a synergist for optically transparent coatings, improving the gloss and transparency of the coating.
Research in Japan shows that nanocellulose has been successfully applied to environmentally friendly water-based coatings, improving the durability and environmental performance of the coating. By adding 2% nanocellulose, the hardness of the coating is increased by 30% and the wear resistance is increased by 40%. In addition, the VOC emissions of coatings have been reduced by more than 50%, which complies with Japan's strict environmental regulations. The coating is used in many green building projects, especially suitable for exterior wall coatings that require low VOC emissions and high weather resistance.

A European construction company uses nanocellulose modified coatings to improve the UV stability and adhesion of its exterior wall coatings. The study found that after the addition of nanocellulose, the UV stability of the coating was increased by 25% and the adhesion was increased by 40%. These coatings have been successfully used in multiple construction projects, especially in extreme climates, and can effectively resist UV erosion and extend the life of the coating.
The application of nanocellulose in the field of binders has also gradually gained attention. Its good bonding strength, water resistance and rheology make it an ideal additive for industrial adhesives. The following are some analysis of some academic research and practical application cases.
Chen et al. (2018) [2] studies show that the addition of nanocellulose as a bio-based material to aqueous binders can significantly improve its bonding strength and water resistance. Research shows that after adding 1% nanocellulose, the bonding strength of the adhesive is increased by 20%, and the fluidity is optimized, which helps to improve production efficiency.
A world-renowned packaging company uses nanocellulose modified water-based adhesives, which significantly improves the adhesive properties and environmental protection of packaging materials. The experimental results show that after adding 1% nanocellulose, the bonding strength of the aqueous adhesive increased by 25%, and the fluidity was optimized. This adhesive not only has excellent adhesive properties, but also has good biodegradability, meets the requirements of green packaging, and is widely used in packaging production lines.

In the furniture industry, a furniture manufacturer uses nanocellulose modified wood adhesives to improve its bonding strength and water resistance. Research shows that after adding 2% nanocellulose, the bonding strength of wood adhesive is increased by 30% and the water resistance is increased by 20%. This improvement allows wood adhesives to maintain strong bonding capabilities in humid environments and extends the service life of furniture. This technology has been applied in the production of many high-end furniture, meeting the market's demand for high-quality environmentally friendly furniture.
According to market research, nanocellulose has broad market application prospects in the fields of coatings and adhesives.
