Nanofibrillated Cellulose: Sustainable Nanofiller with Broad Potentials Use

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomass and Bioenergy

Abstract

This chapter reviews some of the recent advances in the realm of the extraction of nanofibrillated cellulose from lignocellulosic fibers and some aspects of their potential uses in different fields of applications. The production of nanosized fibrils from cellulose fibers undoubtedly represents one of the most breakthroughs in cellulose-based materials during the two last decades and one of the most studied topics in the literature today. This is due to the attributes of nanocellulosics which include renewability, broad availability, and low cost of the raw material. Other features concerned its large surface-to-volume ratio, high strength and stiffness, low thermal expansion coefficient, low density, biodegradability, and high aspect ratio. Fields of use of nanocellulose include reinforcement of nanocomposite materials, thickening agents, tissue engineering scaffolds, dry-strength additive for paper, filtration media, adsorbents, etc.
