“…Owing to its abundant and renewable character, as well as to its excellent inherent properties, cellulose is recently in the spotlight of scientific interest, , especially its nanoscale forms, cellulose nanofibers, nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose. Low density, high surface area, high crystallinity, good thermomechanical properties, optical transparency, and biocompatibility are some of its most appealing features, rendering nanocellulose an excellent candidate for polymer reinforcement , with a wide range of applications such as packaging materials, adhesives, coatings, composite films, biomedical applications, printed electronics, and biosensors. ,− Alternatively, cellulose can be converted to glucose via downstream chemo/bio-catalytic hydrolysis, − which can be further upgraded to sugar alcohols, glycols, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and organic acids via catalytic hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis and oxidation. − …”
