Abstract
Nanocellulose is a biodegradable nanomaterial derived from lignocellulosic biomass through mechanical, chemical, or enzymatic defibrillation processes to convert wood fibers into nanofibrils. This material consists of a network of cellulosic fibrils with a wide range of diameters, offering unique properties suitable for various functional applications. Nanocellulose can act as a substrate or coating, serving as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic plastics. Despite having good barrier properties and strong mechanical strength, nanocellulose films are still not as effective as synthetic plastics. They are used in creating barrier materials, flexible electronics, and coatings for paper products.
