[14] [15] This material was later referred to as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and commercialised under the name Avicel by FMC Corporation. [16] Nanocellulose gel (probably MFC of NFC) Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was discovered later, in the 1980s, by Turbak, Snyder and Sandberg at the ITT Rayonier labs in Shelton, Washington.
