“…The key is that neither oxygen gas nor greases and oils interact strongly with the hydrogen-bonded structure of a cellulose-based barrier film. Due to the importance of the topic for such applications as food packaging, several studies have focused on oil resistance (Aulin et al 2009b(Aulin et al , 2010aÖsterberg et al 2013;Kumar et al 2014;Sirviö et al 2014;Kisonen et al 2015;Raghu 2015). Interestingly, several of these studies showed that the same systems providing superior oil hold-out also acted as superior barriers for oxygen permeation (Aulin et al 2010a;Österberg et al 2013;Kisonen et al 2015).…”

“…In addition to the barrier properties and related functional capabilities of nanocellulose-based layers, much research has focused on desirable attributes such as transparency Petersson and Oksman 2006;Nordqvist et al 2007;Shimazaki et al 2007;Ayuk et al 2009;Fernandes et al 2009Fernandes et al , 2010Fukuzumi et al 2009;Kim et al 2009;Nogi et al 2009;Petersson et al 2009;Sehaqui et al 2010;Hassan et al 2011;Pereda et al 2011Pereda et al , 2014Stevanic et al 2011;Yang et al 2011;Aulin et al 2012;Hu et al 2013;Li et al 2013a;Tome et al 2013;Khan et al 2014b;Kumar et al 2014;Kurihara and Isogai 2014;Tammelin and Vartiainen 2014;Ambrosio-Martin et al 2015b;Honorato et al 2015;Oun and Rhim 2015;Toivonen et al 2015a,b). Hu et al (2013) showed that nanocellulose films could be rendered conductive by deposition of tindoped indium oxide, while still retaining their transparency; solar cells prepared with such films were successfully demonstrated.…”

“…In this way, nanocellulose-related films have the potential to either increase the shelf life of foods, to prevent the accumulation of unwanted odors or contamination of the food, or conversely to avoid the escape of food odors. The following articles indicate strong performance of nanocellulose-containing films as oxygen barriers (George et al 2005;Pääkkö et al 2007;Fukuzumi et al 2009;Syverud and Stenius 2009; Aulin et al 2010a; Edlund et al 2010;Hult et al 2010;Plackett et al 2010;Yang et al 2011;Charani et al 2013;Fortunati et al 2012b;Martínez-Sanz et al 2012; Rodionova et al 2012a,b;Savadekar et al 2012;Stevanic et al 2012; Espino-Pérez et al 2013;Li et al 2013a;Martínez-Sanz et al 2013a;Österberg et al 2013; Paunonen 2013a,b;Iotti 2014;Kumar et al 2014;Lavoine et al 2014c;Liu et al 2014;Miettinen et al 2014;Ibn Yaich et al 2015;Rojo et al 2015;Cheng et al 2016;Shimizu et al 2016). …”

“…Secondly, the tiny dimensions of nanocellulose imply a high exposure to its surroundings. The issue of biodegradation has been emphasized in studies in which nanocellulose was used in composite structures with other natural film-forming materials (Lu et al 2008;Ma et al 2008;Cheng et al 2009;Wan et al 2009; Azeredo et al 2010;Bras et al 2010;Khan et al 2010Khan et al , 2012Khan et al , 2014bSiro and Plackett 2010;da Silva et al 2012;Hassan et al 2012;Johnsy and Siddaramaiah 2012;Tang et al 2012; Baheti and Militky 2013; ChingaCarrasco et al 2013;Ollier et al 2013; Bhardwaj et al 2014;Dehnad et al 2014a;Fortunati et al 2014;Ghaderi et al 2014;Khalil et al 2014;Kumar et al 2014;Marais et al 2014;Reddy and Rhim 2014;Song et al 2014;Yang et al 2014; Azizi Samir et al 2015; Feng et al 2015a;Figueiredo et al 2015;Honorato et al 2015;Lavoine et al 2015;Li et al 2015a;Lu et al 2015; Youssef et al REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com .

This review article was prompted by a remarkable growth in the number of scientific publications dealing with the use of nanocellulose (especially nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and bacterial cellulose (BC)) to enhance the barrier properties and other performance attributes of new generations of packaging products. Recent research has confirmed and extended what is known about oxygen barrier and water vapor transmission performance, strength properties, and the susceptibility of nanocellulose-based films and coatings to the presence of humidity or moisture. Recent research also points to various promising strategies to prepare ecologically-friendly packaging materials, taking advantage of nanocellulose-based layers, to compete in an arena that has long been dominated by synthetic plastics. Some promising approaches entail usage of multiple layers of different materials or additives such as waxes, high-aspect ratio nano-clays, and surface-active compounds in addition to the nanocellulose material.While various high-end applications may be achieved by chemical derivatization or grafting of the nanocellulose, the current trends in research suggest that high-volume implementation will likely incorporate water-based formulations, which may include water-based dispersions or emulsions, depending on the enduses.

As of November 2016, a search of this combination of terms showed about as many publications since the start of 2015, compared to all preceding years combined. Given such an acceleration of research around the world, it makes sense to ask whether this high amount of research effort has yet borne significant fruit. In light of this question, the emphasis of this review article is on research publications that shed light on known challenges to the successful implementation of nanocellulose products to enhance the performance of packaging.In principle, a nano...

“…The application of nanotechnology has been first introduced in papermaking to understand the basic organization of cellulose fibers and its components. The cell wall of native cellulose fibers is composed of primary and secondary layers with a specific arrangement of fine fibrils with nanoscale dimensions, which can be liberated by mechanical disintegration [80], or chemical hydrolysis [81] leading to so-called micro/nanofibrillated cellulose (MFC and NFC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), respectively. These materials have been used as filler materials paper sheets [82,83], and nanopaper production [84] with improved mechanical and barrier properties.…”

Abstract:The barrier resistance and wettability of papers are commonly controlled by the application of petroleum-based derivatives such as polyethylene, waxes and/or fluor-derivatives as coating. While surface hydrophobicity is improved by employing these polymers, they have become disfavored due to limitations in fossil-oil resources, poor recyclability, and environmental concerns on generated waste with lack of biodegradation. Alternatively, biopolymers including polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and polyesters can be used to formulate new pathways for fully bio-based paper coatings. However, difficulties in processing of most biopolymers may arise due to hydrophilicity, crystallization behavior, brittleness or melt instabilities that hinder a full exploitation at industrial scale. Therefore, blending with other biopolymers, plasticizers and compatibilizers is advantageous to improve the coating performance. In this paper, an overview of barrier properties and processing of bio-based polymers and their composites as paper coating will be discussed. In particular, recent technical advances in nanotechnological routes for bio-based nano-composite coatings will be summarized, including the use of biopolymer nanoparticles, or nanofillers such as nanoclay and nanocellulose. The combination of biopolymers along with surface modification of nanofillers can be used to create hierarchical structures that enhance hydrophobicity, complete barrier protection and functionalities of coated papers.
