Forest products industry is closely affected from the economic conditions and the markets. Consequently, new markets that seek innovative products and high value added novel materials are crucial for the future of forest sector in Canada. Among these products, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are attracting increasing attention due to the potential commercial interests from various industries. FP Innovation has taken a lead role in Canada in supporting the exploration of applications for CNC in order to enhance their support of the forestry sector. CNC are highly crystalline rod-like particles that are very attractive as reinforcing agents in nano-composites due to desirable properties, such as high strength and stiffness and relatively low density. Canada is the global leader in the production of the CNC material; therefore, it is strategically important to develop an improved understanding of the reinforcing potential of CNC and use that knowledge to develop new nano-composite materials. This will provide pathways to commercial applications in Canada and around the world for this naturally abundant material. For this purpose, this proposal aims in investigating addition of CNC into one of the most commonly used polymers in the world, Nylon 6. This polymer is used to produce fibers and engineering materials such as polymeric films; however, incorporation of CNC into Nylon 6 has not been well investigated and documented in the literature. During this project, the researchers will incorporate different amounts of CNC into polymeric films and fibers. The findings will be used to generate design curves for engineers around the world to promote large scale use of CNC in Nylon 6 applications. This project is supported by FPInnovations as the industrial partner. Additionally, along with this proposal, Dr. Ayranci and his collaborator, Dr. Cranston (McMaster), are also applying to the Alberta-Ontario Innovation Program (AOIP) for extra funding. AOIP is formed between Alberta Innovates Technology Futures, Ontario Centres of Excellence, government of AB and ON, and NSERC.

森林产品行业受到经济状况和市场的严重影响。因此，寻求创新产品和高增值新颖材料的新市场对于加拿大森林部门的未来至关重要。在这些产品中，纤维素纳米晶体（CNC）和纤维素纳米纤维（CNF）由于来自各个行业的潜在商业利益而引起了越来越多的关注。 FP创新在加拿大在支持CNC的申请中发挥了领导作用，以增强其对林业领域的支持。 CNC是高度结晶的棒状颗粒，由于理想的特性，例如高强度和刚度以及相对较低的密度，因此在纳米复合材料中非常有吸引力。 加拿大是CNC材料生产的全球领导者；因此，在战略上，对CNC的增强潜力的增强潜力并利用这些知识来开发新的纳米复合材料很重要。 这将为加拿大和世界各地的商业应用提供这种自然丰富的材料的途径。为此，该提案旨在调查CNC中添加到世界上最常用的聚合物之一，即尼龙6。该聚合物用于生产纤维和工程材料，例如聚合物膜。但是，将CNC掺入尼龙6中尚未在文献中得到很好的研究和记录。 在此项目中，研究人员将将不同量的CNC纳入聚合物膜和纤维中。这些发现将用于为世界各地的工程师生成设计曲线，以促进CNC在Nylon 6应用中的大规模使用。该项目作为工业合作伙伴提供了FPInnovations的支持。此外，与该提案一起，Ayranci博士和他的合作者Cranston（McMaster）也申请了艾伯塔省 - 奥纳托里奥创新计划（AOIP）额外资金。 AOIP是在艾伯塔省创新技术期货，安大略省卓越中心，AB政府以及NSERC和NSERC之间形成的。
