Nanocellulose: Technology, Applications and Markets
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).

The road to commercialization• Value proposition• Consistent quality from batch to batch• Which material is best for a given application?• What loading is optimal?• Regulatory hurdles• Who develops the applications? Who does the R&D?• More than one source of supply• Implications for customer process
Hundreds of companies have tested the material. Maybe 1,000?Commercial applications?Interest in CNF outpaces interest in CNC, and not just for papermaking
Value proposition
• Weight reduction• Rheology• Improved performance/ substitution• Process improvement
