Nanocellulose: the technical value and application prospects of a new generation of high-performance bio-based functional materials. With the continuous advancement of the 'double carbon' goal and the concept of green manufacturing, high-performance materials with renewable sources and designable performance are becoming an important development direction in materials science and industrial applications. As a high-end form of cellulose materials, nanocellulose (Nanocellulose), with its unique nanostructure and excellent physical and chemical properties, is showing broad application potential in functional materials, daily chemicals, coatings, composite materials, biomedicine and other fields. 1. What is nanocellulose? Nanocellulose is a nanoscale fiber material obtained by dissociating natural cellulose through mechanical, chemical or biological methods. It usually includes cellulose nanofibers (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and bacterial cellulose (BC). Its diameter is generally 5–50 nm, and its length can range from hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers.

With the rapid development of green materials and sustainable technologies, nanocellulose has gradually become an important research and application target in the field of functional materials due to its advantages such as wide sources, renewable nature, and good biocompatibility. Among them, carboxylated nanocellulose (Carboxylated Nanocellulose) has significantly expanded the dispersion, reactivity and application boundaries of nanocellulose by introducing carboxyl functional groups on the surface of cellulose molecules, and has become one of the key directions of current industrialization and scientific research. 1. Structural characteristics of carboxylated nanocellulose Carboxylated nanocellulose usually introduces a -COOH group on the C6 hydroxyl group of the cellulose molecular chain through chemical modification. This structural change makes the surface of nanocellulose carry a stable negative charge, which can form a strong electrostatic repulsion in a water system, thereby building a more uniform and stable nanofiber network structure. with unmodified nanocellulose

——Homologous materials, different scales, different application values ​​Against the background of the continuous development of green materials and bio-based functional materials, cellulose-derived materials are widely used in fields such as daily chemicals, pesticides, coatings, medicines and composite materials. Among them, nanocellulose and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) are two types of materials with a high degree of industrialization at present. Although the two are derived from natural cellulose, they are essentially different in structural scale, performance and application direction. This article will systematically compare nanocellulose and microcrystalline cellulose from the perspective of structure, performance and application, providing a reference for material selection. 1. The sources of raw materials are the same, but the structural processing methods are different. Both nanocellulose and microcrystalline cellulose use natural plant cellulose as raw materials, such as wood pulp, cotton pulp, etc., but their preparation ideas are completely different: microcrystalline cellulose mainly removes amorphous elements from cellulose through acid hydrolysis.

As pesticide formulations develop towards high efficiency, safety, environmental protection and high stability, traditional suspending agents and thickening systems are gradually exposed in terms of long-term storage stability, low-dose dispersion and environmental friendliness. As a new type of natural polymer nanomaterial, nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) is becoming an important functional additive in pesticides and functional suspension systems due to its unique structure and performance advantages. 1. The core demand for functional materials in pesticide suspension systems. In suspension concentrates (SC), water-dispersible granules (WDG) and functional additive systems, formula design usually faces the following key issues: active ingredients are easy to settle, agglomerate and system stratify after long-term storage, and stability decreases. Some traditional additives with unstable rheological properties under shear conditions have a greater environmental burden. Therefore, pesticide formulations put forward multiple requirements for suspended materials such as efficient suspension, good dispersion, low dosage, and green environmental protection. 2.
