NANOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS:RESEARCH/PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES AND APPLICATIONS

摘要

Nanocelluloses have emerged as novel materials and attracted significant interest from both academia and industry.Nanocelluloses can now be produced at the commercial,pre-commercial,and pilot scales.Successful commercial applications of nanocelluloses have entered commercial stages though their full potentials are yet to be developed.In this review paper,the applications of these nanomaterials are high-lighted,including high-volume applications(e.g.,paper,textiles),low-volume applications(e.g.,aerogels,aerospace),and novel/emerging applications(e.g.,organic light emitting diodes,photonic films).Close collaboration between industry and the academic world would facilitate the development of commercial markets for using nanocelluloses in existingew areas.
