Novel cellulose nanofibers based on the lyocell technology

N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) is well-known as a direct solvent of cellulose. NMMO is used to produce cellulose fibres which are known as Lyocell fibres. The recent studies on NMMO processing showed that the NMMO method is also suitable for obtaining cellulose nanofibres. All data and the information provided in this paper concerned the cellulose nanofibers spinning method and nanofibers characteristics was worked out in the Man-Made Fibres Department of Technical University of Lodz.
