The most cutting-edge biomass material in the world is cellulose nanofiber (CNF), which is created from wood-derived fibre (pulp) that has been micro-refined to the nano level of several hundredths of a micron and smaller.
Cellulose nanofiber is viewed as a potential material for usage in a variety of fields, including filter material, high gas barrier packaging material, electrical devices, foods, medicine, cosmetics, and health care. This is due to its unique shape and physical characteristics.
SEM and AFM were used in this study to evaluate cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) produced by a combination of enzymatic hydrolysis and grinding (EG-CNFs), grinding and microfluidization (GH-CNFs), or TEMPO-mediated oxidation and grinding (TE-CNFs) (AFM).
The term “nanocellulose” refers to cellulose that has been nanostructured. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC or NCC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), also known as nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), or bacterial nanocellulose, which refers to nano-structured cellulose produced by bacteria, can all be used to make this.
Due to their greater surface area, aspect ratio, and Young’s modulus, nanoscale cellulose materials or nanocellulose have an advantage over traditional cellulose fibres.
The adaptability of cellulose-based materials has made a wide range of uses possible. When well cleaned, a network of nanofibers can trap dust and other dangerous particles considerably better than thoroughly cleaned filters without a thin fibre layer.
These high degrees of filtration are made possible through filtration techniques like interception, diffusion, and impaction.
The Global Cellulose Nanofibers Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
converted into cellulose nanofibers, cellulose, the primary component of plant fibres, is becoming recognised as a potential new material that is strong, light, and environmentally benign.
CNFs offer a wide range of potential uses, including in adult diapers, electronic displays, vehicles, and aircraft. Japan, which has forests on over 70% of its land, is a global leader in CNF-related research and development.
CNFs are to be one-fifth the weight of steel and five times as strong, which accounts for their light weight and strength.
CNFs can be used with plastic or rubber to create lightweight, durable automobile components. At Kyoto University’s Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere, a team is looking into replacing the iron in car bodies and hoods with CNFs to make them lighter and more fuel-efficient.
Additionally, this will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Similar to carbon fibre, CNFs might be used in aeroplane bodies in the future.
