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.
*As it is made of 100% paper, it may deform due to moisture.

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.
