NANOCELLULOSE

The term "nanocellulose" refers to a family of materials that includes cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and cellulose filaments (CF), which are a variant of CNF. But, not all are cellulose and not all are nano. Some are chemically modified and therefore are no longer cellulose. Some are called "nano" but are really micro-scale, and some are called "micro" but are really nano-scale, and some contain a mix of nano-scale and micro-scale materials.
