Cellulose Nanofiber also known as Cellulose Nanofibril

  Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF)  which is sometimes also called as Cellulose nanofibril is encompassed by Nanocelluloses alongside with Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC),  Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) . Despite the fact that BNC and NCC possess several unique properties, the advantage of Cellulose Nanofiber (to BNC and NCC) is that its biodegradable nature, low density, high mechanical properties, economic value and renewability. Nanofibrillated Cellulose can be produced at large industrial scales, with a variety of functional groups, and by a multitude of industrially attractive processes. Nanocellulose materials and specifically Cellulose Nanofiber generate an immense interest due to many exceptional properties and the capability of producing the materials from a multitude of sustainable resources. Nanofibrillated Cellulose features outstanding intrinsic mechanical properties due to their high crystallinity (high specific stiffness and strength), attra...
