Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) — The latest news about safe, sustainable and bio-based materials and products

Creating industrially relevant cellulose reference materials for environmental, health and safety evaluations

There is an immediate need for cellulose nanofibril references and standards to support environmental, health and safety evaluations, product and application development of next-generation composite materials. A new paper outlines our recent work to develop systematically oxidized and well-characterized reference materials from industrially relevant dissolving pulp.

Fat Blocking Effect of Cellulose Nanofibers

A recent study published in ACS Nano suggests that fat digestion and absorption can be reduced when nanocellulose fibers are added to food.

Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) in Commercial Products

Manufacturers in Japan are among the first to produce commercial products using cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a material created from biomass which has a low environmental impact in its production and disposal.
