Cellulose Nanocrystals
(1)Introduction
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are nanoscale crystals extracted from natural cellulose, typically prepared through acid hydrolysis. They possess unique mechanical, optical, and chemical properties. Due to their high strength, rigidity, and biocompatibility, CNC have broad application potential in many fields.
In materials science, CNC are used as reinforcing agents to enhance the mechanical properties of composite materials. Additionally, the high surface area and reactivity of CNC make them excellent for drug delivery and biomedical engineering. In the coatings and packaging industries, the transparency and barrier properties of CNC make them an ideal choice. Due to their renewable and biodegradable characteristics, CNC are considered environmentally friendly materials, helping to reduce reliance on petroleum-based materials.

(3)Usage Instructions
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are a high-strength, high-transparency nanomaterial widely used to enhance composite materials, coatings, and packaging. For use, CNC can be uniformly dispersed in water or a solvent and then mixed with the matrix material. Ensure thorough mixing to maximize performance. CNC can also be used to prepare transparent films and gels for applications in biomedical and electronic devices. For storage, keep dry and avoid moisture.
Usage Method:After mixing with water, process and disperse in a high-speed mixer.
