Homogenisation of cellulose fibres has been one of the principal applied procedures. Homogenisation has produced materials which may be inhomogeneous containing fibres fibres fragments fibrillar fines and nanofibrils. The material has been denominated microfibrillated cellulose MFC . In addition terms relating to the nano-scale have been given to the MFC material. Several modern and high-tech nano-applications have been envisaged for MFC. However is MFC a nano-structure It is concluded that MFC materials may be composed of 1 nanofibrils 2 fibrillar fines 3 fibre fragments and 4 fibres. This implies that MFC is not necessarily synonymous with nanofibrils microfibrils or any other cellulose nano-structure. However properly produced MFC materials contain nano-structures as a main component . nanofibrils. Review Introduction Wood pulp fibres are presently a major area of research for several end-use applications. Fibres can be utilised as reinforcement in bio-degradable composites and as a source of raw materials for bio-energy and biochemical production. Wood pulp fibres have been applied as the raw material for the production of a fibrillated material which was introduced and defined as microfibrillated cellulose MFC by Turbak et al. 1 and Herrick et al. 2 . Several modern and high-tech nano-applications have been envisaged for MFC 1 . Although cellulose fibres have constituted the main source for MFC production the utilisation of other pulp
