Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils were produced from various biobased
raw materials by grinding and high pressure
homogenization. Films were produced by Erichsen lab-scale
coater from banana, sugar beet, hemp, softwood and
hardwood pulps and plasticized with 30 wt% of sorbitol.
Water vapor transmission, grease penetration, oxygen
transmission and mechanical properties including tensile
strength and strain were measured and compared against
each other. All films had high water vapor transmission
rates varying between 20-24 g*mm/m2/day. Due to high
number of polar hydrogen bonds in CNF, the films were
impermeable to grease. All films had excellent oxygen
barrier properties (
