JAPANESE GOVERNMENT’S STRATEGIES

Year Strategies Contents

2014 Japan Revitalization

Strategy 2014

States “promoting the use of new materials through R&D

focused on CNF”


Strategy 2015

States “promoting the use of new materials while proceeding

with R&D for international standardization of CNF”


Strategy 2016

States “promoting the use of woody biomass, R&D for

international standardization and commercialization of CNF”

2017 Growth Strategy 2017 States “working on the R&D of CNF and lignin aimed at

international standardization and commercialization”

Projects

Total expenditure:

1.8 billion yens (approx. 13.8 million €）

• Development of integrated production process and application

technologies of highly functional ligno-CNF

• Promotion of utilization of next-generation materials including

CNF (e.g. automobile members)

• Creation of new demand for wood.

• R&D on international standardization of CNF

Government’s Projects on Cellulose Nanofiber (Fiscal Year 2016)

CHALLENGES FOR EXPANDING THE USE OF CELLULOSE NANOFIBER

Current major technology in the defibration process

TEMPO oxidation method:

Chemical denaturation of cellulose based on TEMPO catalysis. With this

method, pulp is easily defibrated and nanofiber with a uniform width can

be created.

The phosphate esterification method:

To introduce phosphate groups on the surface of cellulose crystals by

phosphorylation method before mechanical treatment. With this method,

the manufacturing of high quality (high transparency, high viscosity) CNF

is possible.

Aqueous Counter Collision method:

To allow bio-based materials to be downsized into nano-objects only using

a pair of high speeded water jets as the medium without chemical

modification.

CNF-Reinforced Plastic method “Kyoto Process” :

This is produced by mixing CNF and plastics, such as polypropylene (PP),

polyethylene (PE), nylon and other plastic, resulting in additional strength.

Further technology
