Cellulose Nanofibrils
(1)Introduction
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are nanoscale fibers extracted from natural cellulose, typically prepared through mechanical treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, or chemical methods. They possess exceptional mechanical properties, high specific surface area, and good biocompatibility, making them highly promising for various applications.
In the field of materials science, CNF is commonly used as a reinforcing agent, significantly enhancing the strength and toughness of composite materials. In the paper, textile, and packaging industries, CNF addition can improve the mechanical properties and barrier characteristics of materials. Furthermore, CNF also shows significant value in the biomedical field, where it can be used for wound dressings, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds.
Due to its derivation from renewable resources and biodegradability, CNF is regarded as an environmentally friendly material that helps reduce dependence on petroleum-based products. With ongoing research, CNF's application prospects in emerging fields such as electronic devices, energy storage, and water treatment are gradually emerging, demonstrating broad commercial and environmental benefits.
