Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are promising bio-based
materials for numerous applications, either as
replacement of oil-based materials in existing products,
potentially with added functionality, or in generating
novel materials and products. VTT has been involved in
CNF research since 2008, and has expertise related to
their manufacturing, modification, characterization,
safety and sustainability, rheology and processability,
as well as to selected applications. Examples of
applications which are considered very potential and
strategically important for VTT include paper and board,
films and CNF filaments and yarns. Recent developments in
the production of cellulose nanofibrils at high
consistency with an economically feasible manner have
removed major challenges related to industrial production
of CNFs.
