“…Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) exhibit distinct features, including mechanical strength, porosity, high water retention, high surface functionality, and an entangled fibrous network. These traits play a crucial role in determining the attributes of the resulting templated materials [28]. The use of templating with CNFs has been extensively investigated across a range of applications, including catalysis, batteries, supercapacitors, electrodes, building materials, biomaterials, and membranes [29].…”

“…These attributes render them highly appropriate for sustainable textile applications [66]. Added to that, it has been shown that the use of nanocellulosebased coatings may provide effective protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation for textiles, hence safeguarding them from the detrimental effects of UV radiation [28]. The distinctive characteristics shown by nanocellulose, including its exceptional mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and customizable surface chemistry, render it a very suitable substance for the development of UV-resistant coatings in the realm of sustainable textiles.…”

In recent times, there has been a discernible focus on the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable biomaterials obtained from renewable sources. Scientists are now investigating the prospective applications of nanocellulose, a biocompatible substance derived from natural cellulose. The aforementioned substance exhibits notable characteristics, such as a substantial surface area to volume ratio, with its compatibility with biological systems and capacity to undergo degradation. Nanocellulose has the capability to undergo transformation into nanofibers and nanocrystals, so enabling the generation of diverse structures, including elongated nanofibers, suspensions, and films. In the textile industry, there is a growing need to adopt sustainable techniques in order to address and minimize the negative environmental impacts. The current focus is on the advancement of environmentally sustainable alternatives in the realm of textile production, namely cellulose-based materials. These textiles are being created using processes that aim to minimize water pollution. In addition, recent advancements in dyeing methods have used nanocellulose to effectively reduce water consumption and eliminate the need for toxic materials. Nanocellulose nanocomposites, such as nanofibrillated celluloses (NFCs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are increasingly used as fillers in textile nanocomposites to enhance their mechanical characteristics due to their cost-effectiveness and recyclability. The advancements achieved in the field of nanocellulose-based materials and technology exhibit considerable promise in the development of ecologically friendly solutions across several industries.

Adhesive composite hydrogels have received increasing attention in the fields of wearable sensors, electronic skin, and bioelectronic interfaces. However, combining good adhesiveness and high strength in a single composite hydrogel remains challenging. To address this issue, a polydopamine (PDA)-modified nanocellulose (PCNF)/polyacrylamide (PAM) composite hydrogel was developed, which exhibits good adhesiveness (40 kPa), good durability (1500 rpm), excellent frost resistance (−42 °C), and good sensitivity (GF = 1.6). The composite hydrogel exhibits selfhealing and conductive properties, making it suitable for sensing and Morse code applications. The obtained composite hydrogels have potential applications in various wearable devices, wireless human computer interfaces, human activity monitoring, and remote encrypted transmissions.
