Cellulose nanocrystals – general introduction Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rigid rod-like nanoparticles of highly crystalline cellulose. In appearance, CNC differs from its nanocellulose sibling cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) by its dimensions and shape. CNCs are short, straight, rigid rods of highly crystalline cellulose in contrast to long, flexible and curly CNFs. In fact, the following macroscale
