Effects such as improved crystallinity, foaming properties, and biodegradability have been confirmed!
By compounding PLA with nanocellulose (CNF: cellulose nanofiber), improvements in tensile strength, elastic modulus, and flexural strength have been confirmed. Additionally, more detailed observations using an electron microscope have confirmed that compounding nanocellulose with PLA results in a more uniform and smaller distribution of foaming (pores). This product is a certified material by the Japan Biomass Plastic Association for Green PLA and biomass plastics. 【Features】 ■ Improved tensile strength, elastic modulus, and flexural strength ■ Enhanced crystallinity ■ Improved foamability ■ Increased biodegradability ■ 100% natural-derived materials, petroleum 0 *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
