Abstract
Despite abundant academic studies reported their diverse applications (as discussed in previous chapters), the practical products of nanocellulose are launched only during recent five years by several companies. In view of most cases concerning nanocellulose-based products, this chapter first summarizes the scale-up production of two types nanocelluloses, cellulose nanofibrils and cellulose nanocrystals all over the world. The introduction of various nanocellulose commercial products is based on its properties and functions, including the high mechanical strength and rigidity for composite additives, water retention for personal care products, rheological modification for writing ink, adsorption and barrier for paper and packaging application. It is unfortunate that some critical information and parameters of processing techniques and products can’t be obtained because of the confidential consideration of some companies. However, the commercial products of nanocellulose (particularly in the cases of cellulose nanofibrils) introduced in this chapter can inspire the future commercialization of these renewable nanomaterials for the development of competitive commodity in industry.
