Facts and Myths about Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNF): What to Expect and What to Not

摘要

This paper provides some facts and myths around cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), its properties and applications and tries to present the "truth" about what to expect from CNF and what to not. Discussions on mechanical properties, processability, water interactions and adhesive properties will be presented. Recent development in the binder application of cellulose nanomaterials, laminate systems and applications in textiles and yarns will be discussed. Future outlook into the potential areas of focus for commercialization will be presented.
