Potential Applications of Fibrillated Nanocellulose for a Sustainable Textile Coating Technology

Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), is an engineered 1D nanomaterial that can be produced from abundantly found natural cellulose sources. Having a very high specific surface area (above 500 m2/g), thixotropic (shear thinning) behavior and reactive structural side groups (cellulosic hydroxyl groups) make NFC a perfect binding material for functional coatings. Cylindrical fiber geometry in NFC facilitates […]
