American Process Inc.'s patented AVAP (R) technology offers commercial-scale production of nanocellulose with flexibility in final product morphology and surface properties (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) that can service the wide variety of emerging end-use market segments. The novel hydrophobic lignin-coated variety of AVAP nanocellulose can be incorporated into plastics. This achievement overcomes a well-known barrier to commercial utilization of nanocellulose. Furthermore, AVAP nanocellulose is anticipated to be cost competitive with petroleum based polymers as well as polymer additives. This breakthrough technology can help achieve the U.S. Department of Agriculture's future global market size estimate for nanocellulose.
