Advantages and application value of nanocellulose Nanocellulose is a green functional material derived from natural plant fibers, with the advantages of low density, high strength, renewability, biodegradation, etc. Among them, 'high specific strength' is one of the most representative core properties of nanocellulose. Its tensile strength per unit mass is much higher than that of traditional materials, such as steel and aluminum alloys, and is a key factor in achieving lightweight and high performance of materials. What is high specific intensity? Specific strength refers to the maximum tension that a material can withstand per unit mass. Nanocellulose exhibits extremely high specific strength due to its nano-size, high aspect ratio, and dense structure. Taking cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as an example, its specific strength can reach 7–8 GPa·g/cm³, which is much higher than conventional plastics and metal materials. Performance advantages brought by high specific strength Lightweight and high strength: It can improve structural stability while reducing material weight;
