Nano and Micro Cellulose Technology
- Summary
- NAMI has developed nano and micro cellulose from seaweed for biodegradable dining wares, food packaging materials, cosmetic formulation ingredients, as well as adsorbents in water and wastewater treatment. The oxygen and water barrier properties, water-solubility, tensile strength and thermal resistance of these cellulose-based materials are tunable for the production of packaging materials to fulfill different needs in the industry. Microbeads made by NAMI's cellulose materials can be used to replace plastic beads in cosmetics, and to be used in water and wastewater treatment by modifying their surface chemical property.
