Nanocellulose Crystals

Product Overview
Nanocellulose crystals are a naturally sourced nanomaterial with a very high surface area and unique physicochemical properties. With a diameter of approximately 10 nanometers and a length of 120 nanometers, they appear as a semi-transparent gel. These crystals possess excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them suitable for use in a wide range of high-performance applications. Nanocellulose crystals also feature a high carboxyl content (0.15 mmol/g), providing them with strong hydrophilicity and surface activity.

Key Features

• High Surface Area:Due to their nanoscale size, nanocellulose crystals have a significantly high surface area, making them ideal for the preparation of efficient catalysts and functional materials.
• Excellent Dispersibility:Nanocellulose crystals exhibit good solubility and dispersibility in water, forming stable dispersions in aqueous solutions.
• Surface Activity:With a high carboxyl content, the surface is highly hydrophilic and reactive, suitable for chemical modification and functionalization.
• Biodegradability:Being naturally sourced, the material is highly biodegradable and meets the requirements for environmentally friendly materials.

Applications

• Biopharmaceuticals:Used as drug carriers and in controlled-release systems to improve drug bioavailability.
• Food Processing:Functions as a food thickener, emulsifier, and packaging material, enhancing food stability and shelf life.
• Papermaking:Can be used to produce high-strength papers and specialty functional papers, improving durability.
• Energy Materials:Applied in fuel cells, supercapacitors, and other energy storage devices to enhance their performance and longevity.
• Functional Materials:Serves as a base material for new high-performance composite materials, coatings, sensors, and other fields such as environmental protection and sensor technology.
