ANPOLY -Nanocellulose for Composites and Biomaterials

SHARE
ANPOLY produces versatile nanocellulose derived from renewable natural resources. Their product is characterized by its biodegradability, lightweight nature, and high strength, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including lightweight composite materials, packaging, filtration systems, cosmetics, and medical biomaterials. ANPOLY offers two main types of nanocellulose: Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) with a fibrous shape and high aspect ratio, and Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) with a crystalline shape and lower aspect ratio. The production processes include mechanical treatment for CNF, preserving its fiber structure, and acid hydrolysis for CNC, isolating the crystalline regions. The high crystallinity and hydrogen bonding in nanocellulose confer excellent gas barrier properties. It also serves as a mechanical reinforcement in light-weighting applications and exhibits unique rheological behaviors under shear conditions. ANPOLY's innovations in nanocellulose are contributing to fields like eco-friendly materials and sustainable manufacturing solutions.

ANPOLY’s nanocellulose is made from abundant natural resources and is renewable, biodegradable, high in strength and light in weight. In addition, due to the various advantages of nanocellulose, there are also various applications such as lightweight composite, packaging, filtration, cosmetics, and medical biomaterials.

There are several types of nanocellulose, and what ANPOLY offers are CNF (Cellulose Nanofiber) and CNC (Cellulose Nanocrystal). Although the criteria for distinguishing CNF and CNC are different depending on scholars, they are generally distinguished by shape and aspect ratio (diameter/length). CNF has a fibrous shape and an aspect ratio of more than 1/100, while CNC has a crystalline shape and an aspect ratio of less than 1/50. This difference is due to the manufacturing method, where CNF uses a mechanical method to maintain its overall fiber shape, while CNC is manufactured through acid hydrolysis (treatment of sulfuric acid) so that the amorphous region is melted by a strong acid and only the crystalline region remains.
