NC

Nanocrystals cellulose (NC) are nanometer-sized cellulose particles extracted from cellulose-rich sources, such as wood pulp or other plant fibers. The nanoscale dimensions endow CNC with unique properties compared to larger cellulose particles.

NC based products

NC are employed to reinforce composite materials, improving their mechanical and thermal properties. These enhancements are crucial for the development of advanced nanocomposites, nanofibers, and various nanotechnology applications. Additionally, NC's unique characteristics are being explored for potential uses in biomedical fields such as drug delivery and tissue engineering.
