CNF vs CNC Technical Comparison

CNF - Cellulose Nanofiber

Features fiber form, aspect ratio 1/100 or larger

Manufacturing Process: Uses mechanical methods, fiber structure maintains original state

Features: Maintains complete fiber structure with excellent reinforcement effect

CNC - Cellulose Nanocrystal

Features crystal form, aspect ratio 1/50 or smaller

Manufacturing Process: Produced through acid hydrolysis reaction (treated with sulfuric acid, etc.)

Features: High purity in crystalline regions with unique optical properties

Manufacturing Difference Explanation

The morphological differences between CNF and CNC are caused by their manufacturing methods. Since CNF uses mechanical methods, the fiber structure can maintain its original state; while CNC is produced through acid hydrolysis reaction, where amorphous regions are dissolved by strong acid, leaving only crystalline regions. Although different scholars have varying standards for distinguishing CNF and CNC, they are generally differentiated by shape and aspect ratio (Diameter/Length).
