With the increase of interests in 3D printing, processing materials have become a critical factor for the diverse and practical applications. Cellulose is a limitless resource on earth, and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) has been widely researched from a new angle in recent decades. Due to its high water content, good biocompatibility, and superior mechanical properties, CNF enables its application as substrates of transparent films, porous packaging, tissue engineering scaffolds, hydrogels and aerogels, and battery electrodes. In recent CNFs have been used as an additive to ink for the enhancement of low viscosity in the ink and the directional deformation of structures, and as an embedding material for direct 3D printing and matrix-assisted 3D printing. The recent trends in 3D printing and other potential applications of CNFs in 3D printing will be discussed in the presentation. |
