Nanotechnologies — Standard terms and their definition for cellulose nanomaterial

ISO/TS 20477:2017 defines terms and definitions for different types of cellulose nanomaterials including secondary components found in cellulose nanomaterials due to their manufacturing processes. The document also gives information on cellulose micromaterials in Annex A. Where necessary, terms from the ISO/IEC 80004 vocabulary series are included in this document. Terms in this document are applicable to all types of cellulose nanomaterials regardless of production methods and their origin (plants, animals, algae or bacteria).

Nanotechnologies — Termes normalisés et leur définition pour les nanomatériaux à base de cellulose

L'ISO 20477 :2017 présente les termes et définitions relatifs à différents types de nanomatériaux à base de cellulose, y compris les composants secondaires résultant des processus de fabrication de ces nanomatériaux. Il donne également des informations sur les micromatériaux à base de cellulose décrits dans l'Annexe A. Lorsque nécessaire, les termes de vocabulaire définis dans la série de normes ISO/IEC 80004 sont inclus dans le présent document. Les termes contenus dans ce document sont applicables à tous les types de nanomatériaux à base de cellulose, quelles que soient leurs méthodes de production et leur origine (plantes, animaux, algues ou bactéries).

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www. iso. org/d irectives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www. iso. org/p atents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

Introduction

Cellulose is a polymer produced by nature. In plants, animals, algae and bacteria, cellulose is extruded

from terminal enzyme complexes (TC). TCs are made up of many identical subunits, each containing at

least one catalytic site from which a single cellulose chain is synthesized. Cellulose chains from a single

TC combine to form an elementary fibril. As TCs in plants, animals, algae, and bacteria have different

numbers and configurations of subunits, the elementary fibrils they produce have different geometries.

[4]

Whether cellulose nanomaterials are separated by industrial processes or produced directly

by organisms, they all contain a common structural component, which is the elementary fibril. This

common component, the elementary fibril, provides a way to describe cellulose nanomaterials from all

manufacturing methods and cellulose sources.

In industrial productions, cellulose nanomaterials can be manufactured by conversion of wood pulp

through chemical, biological or mechanical processes. In the case of bacterium-based cellulose

nanomaterials, they are produced directly by bacteria and can be further acid-hydrolysed to smaller

dimensions. Besides trees and bacteria, algae is another potential sources of cellulose nanomaterials for

industrial applications. Due to their renewable nature and unique properties, cellulose nanomaterials

have developed into platform materials that have application potential in a wide range of products

including those that currently utilize petroleum-based ingredients.

In the current stage of development, several terms to describe cellulose nanomaterials coexist and

have created confusion among users. Rather than delaying standards development until knowledge

accumulated with market maturity is available, we have an opportunity to define a standard vocabulary

for cellulose nanomaterials as they enter the market place. It is anticipated that as the market for

cellulose nanomaterials matures, so too will the standard vocabulary. Beginning to define a standard

vocabulary now will facilitate future communication, eliminate confusion, remove trade barriers and

provide policy makers and regulators with a set of consensus-based terms.
