Lightweight and strong! Nanofibers with performance approaching that of carbon fibers! For weight reduction in automotive and aircraft components.
"Cellulose nanofiber (nano cellulose)" is a type of nanofiber that is one-fifth the weight of steel and has a strength 7 to 8 times greater, with a width of 4 to 20 nm. Its coefficient of linear thermal expansion (the degree of expansion and contraction due to temperature changes) is as small as that of glass fibers, and its elasticity is higher than that of glass fibers (meaning it is hard and durable), giving it excellent properties. Additionally, being plant-derived, it has a low environmental impact similar to paper and is a material with excellent recyclability. It can be made from almost all wood biomass resources available on Earth, making it a very abundant material. With such a variety of excellent characteristics, this fiber is gaining attention as a next-generation large-scale industrial material or green nano material, and active research and development have been conducted in recent years. [Features] - Lightweight and strong - Transparency - Low thermal expansion coefficient - Abundant material resources - Low material cost - Recyclable and highly biodegradable *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *If you would like a paid sample, please inquire.

Company information
We are a chemical company that researches, develops, manufactures, and sells cutting-edge materials and technologies in the environmental and energy sectors aimed at building a decarbonized society. We are developing various advanced materials and technologies, including natural biomass-based biodegradable plastics (resins), biomass coating materials, biomass inks, next-generation solar cells, next-generation secondary batteries, next-generation fuel cells, quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and cellulose nanofibers. Our original brand, Nano Sakura, under GS Alliance, significantly enhances the functional properties of raw materials by "compositing" cellulose nanofibers, which are the main component of plants, with various existing resin materials, resulting in an environmentally friendly, next-generation high-performance advanced material. We also offer products made from 100% natural materials derived from natural biomass waste resources such as wood, plants, bamboo, paper, recycled paper, seaweed, and starch, aiming for a grade with zero petroleum usage, striving to create materials that are as environmentally friendly as possible. We have been selected as a startup support program company by UNOPS, a United Nations-related organization. UNOPS S3i Innovation Centre Japan
