Document Title:Cellulosic nanomaterials- Test methods for characterization
url:www.csa.ca
Scope:

1.1
This Standard describes test methods for characterization of base cellulosic nanomaterials, specifically cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs).

1.2
This Standard does not cover the characterization of nanostructured materials, neither cellulose microfibrils (CMF) nor cellulose microcrystals (CMC).

1.3
This Standard does not cover cellulosic nanomaterial enhanced or enabled products.

Keywords:cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, cel

Goal or Need:

Cellulosic nanomaterials (CNMs) are a family of nanomaterials (nano‐objects and nanostructured materials) derived from nanostructures present in natural cellulose. These materials are a Canadian priority for commercial development.

Cellulosic nanomaterials extracted from cellulose sources, such as wood pulps, are biodegradable, sustainable, and retain the non‐toxicity of cellulose. These materials have numerous potential applications in areas such as composite materials, optical films and devices, catalysts, and pharmaceuticals.

A major challenge for cellulosic nanomaterials is the methods and protocols for characterization and measurement both for the base materials and for nano‐enhanced or nano‐enabled products that are produced from the base materials.

Intended Stakeholders:This Standard provides a consolidated set of test methods to characterize base cellulosic nanomaterials. This Standard is the first in a series on cellulosic nanomaterials intended to serve as a foundation for the development of both Canadian and international standards to facilitate introduction of cellulosic nanomaterials into global markets.
Is it Being Implemented:A national standard in Canada, with parts thereof to be proposed in future international standards
