The Global Market Trends, Estimates and Forecasts for Nanocellulose to 2020
Over the last few years the conversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass and natural biopolymers into chemicals, liquid fuels and feed supplements has received increasing attention. The exploitation of nanostructured cellulose, in the form of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), micro/nanofibrillar cellulose (MFC/NFC) and bacterial cellulose (BC) has mainly been motivated by the sustainability trend, ever-increasing prices of petroleum and the high-energy intensity in production of chemicals and synthetic polymers. This growing interest is related to their unsurpassed quintessential physical and chemical properties.
