Nano-cellulose simulation and sample development for architectural application

Millworks Customom Manufacturing(MCM)是一家总部位于多伦多的定制制造商，三十年来一直**为多伦多城市和北美AEC行业的发展做出贡献。目前，**MCM使用传统可获得的材料建造其项目，这些材料在垃圾填埋场结束其使用寿命，并**产生大量不可生物降解的建筑垃圾。掌握新材料和新制造技术的挑战**是MCM在每个新项目中面临的一个问题。**尽管MCM将继续使用钢、铝和木材等传统材料生产产品，但这些资源虽然部分可回收和可再生，但在MCM的工作流程中构成了一个根本性的生命周期**可用性和生命周期结束处理问题。在这种情况下，问题**出现了，是否有尚未开发的材料和处理技术能够在**生命周期和资源性能方面具有更高的效率，可以减少建筑垃圾的影响？纳米纤维素是一种新的**材料，有巨大的潜力来解决上述困境中的一些环境问题。**MCM认识到有必要试验新材料并开发制造方法，使**纳米纤维素成为其能力范围内的新产品。不断发展的**市场要求持续创新，客户和管理机构对**使用环境友好和可生物降解材料的期望更高，这推动了MCM的创新。利用**纳米纤维素作为建筑行业内可扩大使用的材料来开发工作知识，将极大地提高MCM**将自己定义为使用新材料的先进制造商的能力，这些新材料可以减少**建筑垃圾对日益脆弱的环境的影响。

Millworks Custom Manufacturing (MCM) is a Toronto based custom manufacturer who for thirty years has**been contributing to the growth of the city of Toronto and the AEC industry of North America. Presently,**MCM constructs its projects using conventionally available materials that end their useful life in landfill and**contribute to large quantities of non-biodegradable construction waste. The challenges of developing mastery**over new materials and new manufacturing techniques is a problem MCM faces with each new project.**Although MCM will continue to manufacture products using conventionally available materials such as, steel,**aluminum, and wood, these resources, while partially recyclable and renewable, pose a fundamental life-cycle**problem of availability and end of life handling within MCM's workflow. Given this condition, the question**arises, are there materials and processing techniques yet to be developed that have greater efficiencies in**lifecycle and resource performance that can reduce the impact of construction waste? Nanocellulose is a new**material that has great potential to address some of the environmental concerns of the above stated dilemma.**MCM recognizes a need to experiment with new materials and develop manufacturing methods that will allow**nanocellulose to become a new offering within their capabilities. MCM is driven to innovate by an evolving**marketplace that demands continual innovation with tighter expectations from clients and governing bodies of**using environmentally friendly and bio-degradable materials. The development of a working-knowledge using**Nanocellulose as a scaled up useable material within the building industry would greatly enhance MCM's**ability to define itself as an advanced manufacturer using new materials that can reduce the impacts of**construction waste on an increasingly fragile environment.
