Biodegradable Nanocellulose Development

Nanocellulose biomaterials represent a promising new generation of materials in the biomedical field. CD BioGlyco provides clients with comprehensive solutions in the development of degradable nanocellulose and provides services for the isolation, preparation, derivatization, and characterization of nanocellulose.

Properties of Nanocellulose

Nanocellulose is a fiber or crystal with a diameter of less than 100 nm and a length of several microns extracted from natural cellulose. It has many advantages, such as being non-toxic, biodegradable, excellent biocompatibility, large specific surface area, high mechanical strength, excellent optical performance, and customizable surface chemistry. There are three main forms of nanocellulose materials, namely nanocellulose fibers (NCF), cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC).

Cellulose nanomaterials have attracted widespread attention as environmentally friendly, innovative, and biocompatible materials due to their natural origin and biodegradability at the end of their life circle. Because of the remarkable properties of cellulose-based composites, it is strongly advocated by researchers who are interested in state-of-the-art green resources for a variety of biomedical applications. At present, cellulose nanomaterials have been widely used in medical care, the food industry, hygiene products, and other fields, especially ideal biological materials in the field of biomedicine.

Biodegradable Nanocellulose Development Services at CD BioGlyco

biodegradable-nanocellulose-development

The core advantage of CD BioGlyco is to allow the development of new or improved Cellulose-based Biodegradable Materials and processes for different application areas. We have developed a variety of technologies and processes to help clients develop nanocellulose that exhibits excellent physical and chemical properties as well as eco-friendly capabilities. At present, we have completed the development and modification research of various types of CNC, NCF, and other nanocellulose, and provide nanocellulose products for many universities and research institutes. The services we provide to our clients include but are not limited to:

  • We help clients extract nanocellulose from various sources such as bacteria, tunicate, or wood through hydrolysis procedures via acid, enzymatic, mechanical, etc.
  • We help clients prepare CNC through acid hydrolysis, centrifugation, sonication, dialysis, washing, and other technologies.
  • We provide nanocellulose derivatization services, involving chemical modification to reduce the agglomeration of nanoparticles, including carboxymethylation, acetylation, isocyanate, and silylation.
  • We provide clients with characteristic analysis services of nanocellulose through various technologies such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, etc. Our services include the analysis of nanocellulose dimensions, degree of polymerization, film formation, rheological behavior, crystallinity, hornification, permeation, surface area, toxicity, biodegradability, and mechanical behavior.
