Types of “nano” cellulose• CNF vs CNC: vastly different, depending on the CNC• CNF vs MFC vs CF: how different are they, really?

CrystallinityCompatibilization

Degree of fibrillationPurity

Aspect ratioNano, micro, macro?

Which of these characteristics matter for each application?

A word about biorefineries“A facility that integrates biomass conversion processes and equipment to produce fuels, power, and chemicals from biomass. The biorefinery concept is analogous to today's petroleum refineries, which produce multiple fuels and products from petroleum. Industrial biorefineries have been identified as the most promising route to the creation of a new domestic biobased industry” (NREL).
