More powerful than graphene? What is the 'nanocellulose' that Chinese scientists bet on? Introduction to the black technology In today's field of materials science, nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) is gradually becoming a research hotspot due to its unique structure and excellent performance. It comes from natural cellulose, has lightweight, high strength, degradable, biocompatible properties, and has great application potential in the fields of medicine, environmental protection, electronics, composite materials, etc. This article will introduce its source, preparation method, characteristics and application prospects from the perspective of nanocellulose raw materials in detail. 1. What is nanocellulose? Nanocellulose refers to nano-scale fibers or crystalline materials extracted from natural cellulose. The diameter is usually between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) and the length can reach several microns or even longer. According to the structure and preparation method, nanocellulose is mainly divided into three categories: Cellulose nanofibers (CNF, Cellu
