Cellulose nanofibers are nano-sized (1 nm is one millionth of 1 mm) ultrafine fibers made from plants such as wood, and have the following various characteristics.
・ 1/5 lighter than steel and more than 5 times stronger than steel
・ Due to its excellent toughness, it is tenacious and hard to crack.
・ Difficult to conduct electricity due to excellent insulation
・ Due to its excellent biodegradability, it is rapidly decomposed by microorganisms in the ground.
・ Sustainable resources with low environmental impact because they are derived from plants
-Good workability, and can be bent, drawn, etc.
・ Surface treatment is also possible, and painting and adhesion are possible.

Especially with regard to biodegradability, there are experimental results that decomposed faster than ordinary paper, so it can be said that it is a material that is friendly to the global environment. Nowadays, there is a demand for "de-plasticization", and it is a material that is attracting attention as an alternative material to plastic.
In addition, the Ministry of the Environment will focus on cellulose nanofibers and use CNF-reinforced utilization materials (composite resins, etc.) that are the basis of various products to effectively reduce CO2. We are promoting a CNF performance evaluation model business for the purpose of.
