    摘要: Provided are a polylactide-grafted cellulose nanofiber that is suitable as a molding material, and a production method thereof. A polylactide-grafted cellulose nanofiber includes grafted cellulose having a graft chain bonding to cellulose constituting a cellulose nanofiber, wherein the graft chain is a polylactide, and a ratio of an absorbance derived from C═O of the polylactide to an absorbance derived from O—H of the cellulose on an infrared absorption spectrum is no less than 0.01 and no greater than 1,000. In addition, a production method of a polylactide-grafted cellulose nanofiber includes carrying out graft polymerization of a lactide to cellulose constituting a cellulose nanofiber in the presence of an organic polymerization catalyst which includes an amine and a salt obtained by reacting the amine with an acid. As the organic polymerization catalyst, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridinium triflate are preferred.
