Treatment methods accompanied by new mechanical procedures are used to create cellulose nanofibers from a variety of sources, including flax bast fibres, hemp fibres, kraft pulp, and rutabaga.
Those nanofibers produced have sizes ranging from 5 to 60 nanometres. Atomic force spectroscopy and transmitted electron microscopy are used to study the ultrastructure of cellulose nanofibers. The crystalline nature of the microcrystalline cellulose is also measured. Carbon fibre – reinforced films made of 90% polyvinyl alcohol as well as 10% nanofibers are also being developed.

The rising application of nanocomposites in sectors such as manufacturing, aviation, automobile, semiconductors, power, as well is projected to boost the industry. Nanocomposites provide a number of advantages, including improved mechanical qualities, improved optical properties, high ductility without sacrificing toughness, as well as a high specific surface area.
Nanocomposites have the benefit of combining the improvement of traditional materials with the production of new materials by their own nature.
Du Pont Solutions is a leading mobiliser of the Mobility solutions involving automotive composites requirements in the market. The DuPont Energain is the commercialized product that is produced using this approach by DuPont.
DuPont’s principal use is in the energy industry, namely battery separation. As per a public statement via DuPont, DuPont Energain battery separators boost rechargeable battery by 15-30 percent, extend battery life by 20%, and improve material temperature resistance. In the beginning, DuPont Energain separation will be utilised in hybrid and fully electric rechargeable batteries.
FibeRio Technology is part of the component manufacture trending companies in the current industry. Its latest addition has been brought in through the electrospinning dependent on solvents has an advantage.
Nanofibers may be made from molten polymers and solid metal particles in this environment. Cottonwood Technology, an investment capital firm located in El Paso, has collaborated with FibeRio Technology Corporation to commercialise gravitational force whirling advanced technologies.
