Commercial application of cellulose nano-composites – A review

Cellulose is the biosynthetic product from plants, animals and bacteria. Cellulose is the most abundant polymer having long linear chain like structure composed of (1,4) linked β-D glucopyranosyl units assembled into hierarchical structures of microfibrils with excellent strength and stiffness. And...

description Cellulose is the biosynthetic product from plants, animals and bacteria. Cellulose is the most abundant polymer having long linear chain like structure composed of (1,4) linked β-D glucopyranosyl units assembled into hierarchical structures of microfibrils with excellent strength and stiffness. And ‘nanocellulose’ refers to the cellulosic materials with defined nano-scale structural dimensions. They may be cellulose nanocrystal (CNC or NCC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF) or bacterial nanocellulose. Nanocellulose is non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible with no adverse effects on health and environment. Due to its low thermal expansion coefficient, high aspect ratio, better tensile strength, good mechanical and optical properties, they find many applications in thermo-reversible and tenable hydrogels, paper making, coating additives, food packaging, flexible screens, optically transparent films and light weight materials for ballistic protection, automobile windows. It also find potential in biopharmaceutical applications such as in drug delivery and for fabricating temporary implants with PHB like sutures, stents etc.
