ICAR-CIRCOT Nanocellulose
Nanocellulose refers to cellulose polymer broken down to the nano-size range (1 nm = 10-9 m). The major attraction of nanocellulose is its high mechanical strength (Tensile strength = 1 to 10 GPa; Young’s modulus = 100 – 130 GPa), more surface area to volume ratio (50 – 200 m2/g), bio-degradability and novel rheological (shear-thinning) and optical properties. Cotton, bacterial cellulose, agro-biomass and woody biomass are the major raw materials for production of nanocellulose.
