Project summary

CNFs have received significant attention over the past decade due to their compelling multifunctionality, meaning that they incorporate into one product several properties that are often only found in different products. Historically, the high manufacturing cost of CNF was the main obstacle to its widespread adoption across various industries. This project is focused on the cost reduction of CNF production and use through the implementation of a new technology.
