Ceramics are capable of reducing color irregularities and uneven coating, hard to dissolve into glaze, and excellent in fixation. A water-based paint contains a coloring material, first cellulose nanofibers having a lignin content of 20 to 40 mass % and a water retention of 150 to 300%, and second cellulose nanofibers having a higher viscosity compared to the first cellulose nanofibers, and the water-based paint has a B-type viscosity of 600 cps or higher. Ceramic ware or glassware or the like having painting made on a green body of which surface is formed of silicic acid or silicate compound as a main component, with the water-based paint.

Water-based paint, ceramics, and method of decoration

A cellulose fiber composite recycled resin having excellent strength, and a method for producing the same. The cellulose fiber composite recycled resin contains a recycled resin and a mixture of fibrous cellulose, at least one of resin powders and resin pellets, and at least one substance selected from the group consisting of phthalic acid, phthalates, derivatives of phthalic acid, and derivatives of phthalates. For producing this composite resin, at least one of resin powders and resin pellets are added to a slurry of cellulose fibers to obtain a first mixture, a recycled resin is mixed into the first mixture to obtain a second mixture, and the second mixture is kneaded, wherein part or all of the cellulose fibers are fine fibers.

Cellulose fiber composite recycled resin and production method therefor

Provided is a method for producing cellulose nanofibers by refining pulp fibers, wherein the method enables obtaining cellulose nanofibers in which a decrease in a molecular weight of cellulose is suppressed, and which can demonstrate superior strength and the like. The present invention is a method for producing cellulose nanofibers, the method including: pretreating pulp fibers in a slurry; and refining, using a high-pressure homogenizer, the pulp fibers in the slurry, the pulp fibers being pretreated, wherein a weight average molecular weight of cellulose of cellulose nanofibers obtained through the refining is 65% or more of a weight average molecular weight of cellulose of the pulp fibers before the pretreating.

Method for producing cellulose nanofibers

A cellulose fiber molded product having improved tensile elastic modulus and a method for manufacturing the molded product is provided. The cellulose fiber molded product contains cellulose fibers as the main component, in which the cellulose fibers contain pulp and defibrated fibers, and the defibrated fibers contain microfibrillated cellulose. The method for manufacturing the molded product includes preparing a cellulose fiber slurry using the pulp and the defibrated fibers, forming wet paper from the cellulose fiber slurry, and dehydrating, pressurizing, and heating the wet paper. The defibrated fibers include microfibrillated cellulose, or microfibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanofibers.

Cellulose fiber molded product and method for manufacturing the same

Provided are: a fine cellulose fiber that is superior in handling properties and that can suitably be used as a reinforcing material or the like for resin; a production method of the fine cellulose fiber; and a slurry and a composite comprising the fine cellulose fibers. The present invention pertains to fine cellulose fibers comprising a carbamate group. The degree of substitution with the carbamate group with respect to hydroxy groups in the fine cellulose fibers is preferably no less than 0.05 and no greater than 0.5. The present invention pertains to a slurry comprising the fine cellulose fibers, to a composite comprising the fine cellulose fibers and a resin, and to a production method of the fine cellulose fibers, comprising performing a heat treatment on a mixture of a plant raw material and urea or the like, and performing a miniaturization treatment of the plant raw material.
