Dublin, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Market for Nanocellulose (Cellulose Nanofibers, CelluloseNanocrystals, Bacterial Nanocellulose) 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Despite being the most available natural polymer on earth, it is only over the past few years that cellulose has gained prominence as a nanostructured material, chiefly in the form of micro/nanofibrillar cellulose, nanocrystalline cellulose and bacterial nanocellulose. These materials are natural, abundant, renewable, bio-degradable, high in strength and low in weight, making them attractive for developing bio-based, more sustainable product solutions.
Nanocellulose can be produced from a variety of materials (vegetable matter, bamboo etc.) and after applying various pre-treatments, tailor-made nanofibrils with specific morphology and surface chemistry are produced. As well as being completely renewable, safer to handle, and cheaper to produce, nanocellulose materials also possess exceptional physical and chemical properties.
Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) are bio-based but possess high mechanical strength (stronger than steel), high aspect ratios, high transparency, and high chemical resistance. They are also lightweight. As a result, they are very attractive for application in composites and thermoplastics, although they have yet to greatly impact this market. Renewable bio-based polymers and composites derived from natural resources are of great commercial interest due to the environmental impact of fossil fuel-based plastic products. Many bio-based polymers have been developed, but they have shortcomings that render them unsuitable for many applications. The use of cellulose-based nanomaterials is therefore viewed as a means to improve the performance of bio-based polymers in markets such as packaging and automotive, without compromising their properties and sustainability.
