Manufacture of a super-stable green gel pen ink based on CNC-indigo

A modeling framework to identify environmentally greener and lower-cost pathways of nanomaterials

“…23 Besides the morphological differences, CNC-and CNF-based materials can differ in mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength and density). [23][24][25][26][27] Many applications of cellulose nanomaterials have been reported, e.g., coatings, 28 gel inks, 29 tissue engineering, 30 wound dressing, 31 smart sensors, 32 and soft electronics. 33 Previous LCA has shown high environmental burdens of CNC and CNF, majorly due to high energy consumption, waste produced, and chemical usage (e.g., acid, neutralizing agent).…”
