“…Nanocellulose exhibits some exclusive features such as exceptional mechanical properties (i.e., low density, high flexibility, and strength while being chemically inert) (Lavoine and Bergström, 2017) and thermal properties (Gan et al, 2020). Over the past few decades, many research studies have been conducted on the reinforcement of polymer matrix nanocomposites, for instance, natural rubber nanocomposites (Neto et al, 2016;Cao et al, 2018;Dominic et al, 2020), polylactic acid nanocomposites (Gitari et al, 2019;Rigotti et al, 2019), epoxy nanocomposites (Ayrilmis et al, 2019;Yan et al, 2019;Yue et al, 2019), and polystyrene nanocomposites (Clarke et al, 2019;Neves et al, 2019), where nanocellulose has been introduced as a reinforcing agent.…”

“…Nanocellulose has established to be a substantial reinforcement, even at low filler loading, where its modulus of elasticity could reach up to 150 GPa with a staggering aspect ratio up to 640, low thermal expansion coefficient (0.01 ppm•K −1 ), and high specific surface area (several 100 m 2 •g −1 ). Dominic et al studied the effect of rice husk derived nanocellulose in replacing carbon black in natural rubber compounding (Dominic et al, 2020). The dynamic mechanical analysis demonstrated that the loss tangent (tan δ) at 60 • C is lower for the composite containing 5 wt.% of rice husk-nanocellulose and 25 wt.% carbon black compared to the composite containing 30 wt.% carbon black, implying that rice husk-nanocellulose contributes to low rolling resistance, which is a crucial parameter for green tire applications.…”

Over the past few years, nanocellulose (NC), cellulose in the form of nanostructures, has been proved to be one of the most prominent green materials of modern times. NC materials have gained growing interests owing to their attractive and excellent characteristics such as abundance, high aspect ratio, better mechanical properties, renewability, and biocompatibility. The abundant hydroxyl functional groups allow a wide range of functionalizations via chemical reactions, leading to developing various materials with tunable features. In this review, recent advances in the preparation, modification, and emerging application of nanocellulose, especially cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are described and discussed based on the analysis of the latest investigations (particularly for the reports of the past 3 years). We start with a concise background of cellulose, its structural organization as well as the nomenclature of cellulose nanomaterials for beginners in this field. Then, different experimental procedures for the production of nanocelluloses, their properties, and functionalization approaches were elaborated. Furthermore, a number of recent and emerging uses of nanocellulose in nanocomposites, Pickering emulsifiers, wood adhesives, wastewater treatment, as well as in new evolving biomedical applications are presented. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of NC-based emerging materials are discussed.

“…The mercapto-modified cellulose nanocrystals in natural rubber show improved thermo-mechanical properties and reduced stress softening (Mullins effect) [16]. A recent study was conducted to replace carbon black with rice husk derived nanocellulose in natural rubber for green tire manufacturing [17]. The authors have reported that a significant reduction in rolling resistance was possible while replacing 50 phr carbon black with 45 phr carbon black and 5 phr nanocellulose in natural rubber vulcanizates.…”

In the present work, we used the steam explosion method for the isolation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) from Cuscuta reflexa, a parasitic plant commonly seen in Kerala and we evaluated its reinforcing efficiency in natural rubber (NR). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques indicated that type I cellulose nanofibers, with diameter: 10–30 nm and a 67% crystallinity index were obtained by the proposed method. The results showed that application of CNF in NR based nanocomposites resulted in significant improvement of their processing and performance properties. It was observed that the tensile strength and tear strength of NR/CNF nanocomposites are found to be a maximum at 2 phr CNF loading, which corresponds with the studies of equilibrium swelling behavior. Dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and morphological studies of tensile fractured samples also confirm that CNF isolated from Cuscuta reflexa plant can be considered as a promising green reinforcement for rubbers.

“…It is evident from Figure 4 that CNF offers a strong and mechanically stiff characteristics due to the extensive hydrogen bond interactions in comparison to common materials such as plastics and other composites. 28 Therefore, this attributes to CNF promising application as rheological modifier when dispersed in water, fabrication of flexible nanofilms or formulation of 3D printing ink for optimal rheology. 20,29 However, CNF is intrinsically hydrophilic and susceptible to swelling when exposed to moisture that could compromise the structural fidelity of printed structure.…”
