“…It involves the processes of biomass production, and the separation of cellulose from other compounds present in biomass such as lignin and hemicelluloses, solvent production, cross-linking, and nanocellulose, hydrogel production, consumption, and biodegradation. Every procedure has to be included in hydrogel LCA studies to assist in identifying alternative resources and feasible procedures that will result in lower impacts to both the environment and humans [138].…”

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is considered the cheapest natural fiber with good properties and exists abundantly in Malaysia. It has great potential as an alternative main raw material to substitute woody plants. On the other hand, the well-known polymeric hydrogel has gathered a lot of interest due to its three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked network with high porosity. However, some issues regarding its performance like poor interfacial connectivity and mechanical strength have been raised, hence nanocellulose has been introduced. In this review, the plantation of oil palm in Malaysia is discussed to show the potential of OPEFB as a nanocellulose material in hydrogel production. Nanocellulose can be categorized into three nano-structured celluloses, which differ in the processing method. The most popular nanocellulose hydrogel processing methods are included in this review. The 3D printing method is taking the lead in current hydrogel production due to its high complexity and the need for hygiene products. Some of the latest advanced applications are discussed to show the high commercialization potential of nanocellulose hydrogel products. The authors also considered the challenges and future direction of nanocellulose hydrogel. OPEFB has met the requirements of the marketplace and product value chains as nanocellulose raw materials in hydrogel applications.

Polydimethylsiloxane‐based polyurethane (PU)/crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) bionanocomposites were produced via in situ prepolymer approach. Also, hexamethylene diisocyanate as aliphatic diisocyanate monomer and 1,4‐butanediol as aliphatic chain extender were used. CNC was incorporated into PU matrix to prepare different PU/CNC bionanocomposites. Effect of CNC content on the properties of the bionanocomposites such as thermal, thermophysical, microstructure, and in vitro cytotoxicity was investigated. According to the results, incorporating CNCs into PU matrix significantly affected the hydrogen bonding between different microstructures of matrix. Adding different amounts of CNCs affected the thermal and thermophysical properties of bionanocomposites. Also, higher amounts of CNCs resulted in lower crystallization of hard segment. Neat PU matrix showed a moderate cytotoxicity behavior against human fibroblast cells. However, incorporating CNCs significantly improved the cytotoxicity behavior of bionanocomposites where by addition of 2 wt % of CNCs, cell viability increased to 90–100%. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sensors are of increasing interest since they can be applied to daily life in different areas from various industrial sectors. As a natural nanomaterial, nanocellulose plays a vital role in the development of novel sensors, particularly in the context of constructing multidimensional architectures. This review summarizes the utilization of nanocellulose including cellulose nanofibers, cellulose nanocrystals, and bacterial cellulose for sensor design, mainly focusing on the influence of nanocellulose on the sensing performance of these sensors. Special attention is paid to nanocellulose in different forms (1D, 2D, and 3D) to highlight the impact of nanocellulose constructed structures. The aim is to provide a critical review on the most recent progress (especially after 2017) related to nanocellulose‐containing sensors, since there are significantly increasing research activities in this area. Moreover, the outlook for the development of nanocellulose‐containing sensors is also provided at the end of this work.
