In this study, four types of cellulose nanomaterials obtained from wheat straw including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), TEMPO oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNFs), mechanical-driven cellulose nanofibers (MCNFs) and lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) were first produced and then separately added to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different mixing ratio of 1, 3, and 6 wt% to make nanocomposite. Pure CMC film and cellulose microfibers (CFs) reinforced composite were also fabricated. BET test showed that TCNFs and CFs had the highest (124 m 2 /g) and lowest (3.6 m 2 /g) specific surface area, respectively. FE-SEM confirmed that TCNFs and CFs presented the thinnest (8 ± 4 nm) and the thickest (24 ± 7 μm) fibers. The nanocomposite containing TCNFs had a transparency of 56%, while CF-CMC composite showed the lowest one (18%). After the addition of cellulose nanomaterials the XRD peaks of nanocomposites became narrower and shifted partly to the right side compared to that of pure CMC. The highest
