Asahi Kasei: Polyamide reinforced with cellulose nanofiber

The Japanese company Asahi Kasei will present its numerous material solutions at Fakuma 2024, including a CNF/Polyamide composite material for 3D printing.

Asahi Kasei presents a bio-based and biodegradable cellulose nanofiber (CNF). This material, made from cotton linter, a by-product of cotton harvesting, is characterized by high heat resistance and network formation. Due to its unique flow properties, polyamides reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNF) are suitable for 3D printers using material extrusion. Additionally, CNFs offer superior material recyclability compared to glass fibers.

According to the manufacturer, CNF-reinforced polyamide is suitable for 3D printing applications due to its good mechanical properties, high dimensional accuracy, and smooth surface finish.
