Cellulose nanomaterials

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC); Cellulose nanocrystal

Cellulosic nanomaterial in the form of a rigid rod, generally obtained by acid hydrolysis, with a width of 3-10 nm and a form factor greater than 5.

Cellulose nanofibril (CNF); Cellulose nanofibril

Cellulosic nanomaterial in filament form, generally obtained by mechanical defibrillation, with a width of 5-30 nm and a form factor greater than 50.

Cellulose microfibril (CMF); Cellulose microfibril

Cellulose nanomaterial in filament form, generally obtained by mechanical defibrillation, with a width of 10-100 nm and a length of 0.5-10 µm.
