CNF vs. CNC
TAPPI (WI3021) is standardizing the terminology
Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC): A type of cellulose nanofiber
with pure crystalline structure, with dimensions of 3 - 10 nm
in width, and aspect ratio of greater than 5.
Cellulose Nanofibril (CNF): A type of cellulose nanofiber
that contains both crystalline regions and amorphous
regions, with dimensions of 5 - 30 nm in width, and aspect
ratio usually greater than 50.4

Why use CNC and CNF in composites?
•Increased tensile strength properties
•Added dimensional stability in extreme heat and moisture conditions
•Renewable
•Biodegradable
•Broad application
medical devices

packaging films
paper coatings
•Advantage to using nanomaterials in an aqueous system:
preserves nanoscale by avoiding drying and reducing agglomeration

Conclusions
- Both cellulose nanomaterials and the PVA are temperature and
humidity sensitive
- CNF and CNC improve mechanical properties of PVA at any RH and
temperature
-They also improve humidity resistance of the composite formulations
- Cellulose nanomaterials are far less temperature dependent than PVA
as shown by the MRT values
- AMFM viscoelastic mapping tool can be used to map surface
mechanical properties
-Mechanical properties of CNF films can be significantly improved by
the addition of CNC
