“…The fabricated bagasse nanocellulose-based hydrogels for intelligent packaging with a freshness indicator for monitoring spoilage of chicken breast [223]. In this work, by using TEMPO-mediated oxidation to create nanocellulose from sugarcane bagasse cellulose filaments, a stable self-standing nano-hydrogel matrix was created with an aid of Zn [2] + cross-linking. The pH-responsive dyes were carried by the nano-hydrogel that act as a freshness indicator for chicken breast in packaging.…”

“…The statistics show that the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, which directly increases the demand for plastics for humankind's purposes. Thus, it will undoubtedly increase plastic waste, which contributes directly to global warming, water pollution, and air pollution [1,2]. Extensive research has been carried out to develop a substitute packaging material to minimize the environmental impact of petroleum-based packaging materials.…”

Nanocellulose has emerged in recent years as one of the most notable green materials available due to its numerous appealing factors, including its non-toxic nature, biodegradability, high aspect ratio, superior mechanical capabilities, remarkable optical properties, anisotropic shape, high mechanical strength, excellent biocompatibility and tailorable surface chemistry. It is proving to be a promising material in a range of applications pertinent to the material engineering to biomedical applications. 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. This review presents an overview of general concepts in nanocellulose-based nanocomposites for sustainable applications. Beginning with a brief introduction of cellulose, nanocellulose sources, structural characteristics and the extraction process for those new to the area, we go on to more in-depth content. Following that, the research on techniques used to modify the surface properties of nanocellulose by functionalizing surface hydroxyl groups to impart desirable hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance, as well as their characteristics and functionalization strategies, were explained. The usage of nanocellulose in nanocomposites in versatile fields, as well as novel and foreseen markets of nanocellulose products, are also discussed. Finally, the difficulties, challenges and prospects of materials based on nanocellulose are then discussed in the last section for readers searching for future high-end eco-friendly functional materials.
