“…Apart from the obvious possibility of remodeling the current food packaging scenario by taking advantage of the outstanding properties of nanocelluloses [ 34 ], recent contributions demonstrate that they appear as favorable candidates for the design of hydrogels and cryogels [ 35 ], including those that exhibit electric conductive properties [ 36 ], of gas barrier [ 37 ] and membrane filtration materials [ 38 ], of supercapacitors [ 33 ], of photoremediation agents for contaminated environments [ 39 ], of oil and gas production green additives, especially in enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing applications [ 40 ], and of novel biomedical systems, as for targeted chemo-protodynamic/photothermal cancer therapy [ 41 ]. Other common applications involve nanocelluloses as paper additives, implants, dentistry aids and cosmetics, and reinforcing elements in composite materials [ 42 ].…”

A progressively increasing concern about the environmental impacts of the whole polymer industry has boosted the design of less aggressive technologies that allow for the maximum use of carbon atoms, and reduced dependence on the fossil platform. Progresses related to the former approach are mostly based on the concept of the circular economy, which aims at a thorough use of raw materials, from production to disposal. The latter, however, has been considered a priority nowadays, as short-term biological processes can efficiently provide a myriad of chemicals for the polymer industry. Polymers from renewable resources are widely established in research and technology facilities from all over the world, and a broader consolidation of such materials is expected in a near future. Herein, an up-to-date overview of the most recent and relevant contributions dedicated to the production of monomers and polymers from biomass is presented. We provide some basic issues related to the preparation of polymers from renewable resources to discuss ongoing strategies that can be used to achieve original polymers and systems thereof.

“…Qiao et al, (2021) [14] addressed the surface modifications of nanocellulose-based adsorbents with various effective adsorption groups and polymer grafting as well as the fabrication of a hybrid composite. Recent progress in the synthesis, characterization, and possible applications of nanocellulose produced from various types of lignocellulosic biomass was reviewed by Marakana et al, (2021) [9]. Additionally, surface modification routes such as esterification, amidation, silylation, etherification, and carbamation to create advanced nanocellulose materials for desired applications were also discussed.…”

“…Extraction of nanocellulose from a wide range of lignocellulosic biomass including woods (higher plants), agricultural by-products (e.g., wheat, rice, pineapple, banana, oil palm, etc.) [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], and bacterial cellulose [ 10 ] can be performed via physical, mechanical, and biological treatments [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Nanocellulose can be categorized into three types based on its source and extraction method: (1) cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), rod-shaped with widths and lengths vary in the range of 5–70 nm and 100–250 nm, respectively; (2) cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) which are long entangled fibers with a diameter of <100 nm and a length of up to several microns; and (3) bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), which is produced using a bottom-up approach through bacterial synthesis [ 5 ].…”

Extensive research and development in the production of nanocellulose production, a green, bio-based, and renewable biomaterial has paved the way for the development of advanced functional materials for a multitude of applications. From a membrane technology perspective, the exceptional mechanical strength, high crystallinity, tunable surface chemistry, and anti-fouling behavior of nanocellulose, manifested from its structural and nanodimensional properties are particularly attractive. Thus, an opportunity has emerged to exploit these features to develop nanocellulose-based membranes for environmental applications. This review provides insights into the prospect of nanocellulose as a matrix or as an additive to enhance membrane performance in water filtration, environmental remediation, and the development of pollutant sensors and energy devices, focusing on the most recent progress from 2017 to 2022. A brief overview of the strategies to tailor the nanocellulose surface chemistry for the effective removal of specific pollutants and nanocellulose-based membrane fabrication approaches are also presented. The major challenges and future directions associated with the environmental applications of nanocellulose-based membranes are put into perspective, with primary emphasis on advanced multifunctional membranes.

“…The obtained CNC has a similar morphology to the original cellulose and has a higher degree of crystallinity. Negatively charged nanocelluloses with abundant functional groups can also be produced by acid hydrolysis; for example, the nanocellulose with sulfate groups can be stably dispersed after sulfuric acid hydrolysis aqueous solutions due to surface charge repulsion [ 89 ]. The acids used for acid hydrolysis can be divided into inorganic acids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.)…”

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, which is synthesized by plants, bacteria, and animals, with source-dependent properties. Cellulose containing β-1,4-linked D-glucoses further assembles into hierarchical structures in microfibrils, which can be processed to nanocellulose with length or width in the nanoscale after a variety of pretreatments including enzymatic hydrolysis, TEMPO-oxidation, and carboxymethylation. Nanocellulose can be mainly categorized into cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) produced by acid hydrolysis, cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) prepared by refining, homogenization, microfluidization, sonification, ball milling, and the aqueous counter collision (ACC) method, and bacterial cellulose (BC) biosynthesized by the Acetobacter species. Due to nontoxicity, good biodegradability and biocompatibility, high aspect ratio, low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent mechanical strength, and unique optical properties, nanocellulose is utilized to develop various cellulose nanocomposites through solution casting, Layer-by-Layer (LBL) assembly, extrusion, coating, gel-forming, spray drying, electrostatic spinning, adsorption, nanoemulsion, and other techniques, and has been widely used as food packaging material with excellent barrier and mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and stimuli-responsive performance to improve the food quality and shelf life. Under the driving force of the increasing green food packaging market, nanocellulose production has gradually developed from lab-scale to pilot- or even industrial-scale, mainly in Europe, Africa, and Asia, though developing cost-effective preparation techniques and precisely tuning the physicochemical properties are key to the commercialization. We expect this review to summarise the recent literature in the nanocellulose-based food packaging field and provide the readers with the state-of-the-art of this research area.
