Extraction of Nano Cellulose Fibres and Their Eco-friendly Polymer Composite

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Sustainable Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites

Abstract

This book chapter provides an overview of recent progress made in the area of nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) based nanocomposites as new bio-based products. Unlike Petroleum based and synthetic polymer nanocomposite, NFC polymer nanocomposite has many advantages due to low weight, reduced tool wearing, recyclable and biodegradable properties. The types of cellulose nanofibrils covered are those mechanical refined extracted and acid-hydrolysed plants biomass. The applications and new advances covered in this book chapter are the use of cellulose nanofibrils to reinforce polymer. The study shows that bio-composite from nanofibrillated cellulose is a good replacement in the field of medicine, automobile and construction due to their size and the ability to undergo surface chemical modification.
