Natural biomaterials have benefited the human civilisation for millennia. However, in recent
years, designing of natural materials for a wide range of applications have become a focus …

Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) are of increasing interest due to their appealing inherent
properties such as bio-degradability, high surface area, light weight, chirality and the ability …

Nanocellulose is often being regarded as the next generation renewable reinforcement for
the production of high performance biocomposites. This feature article reviews the various …

The food industry is increasingly demanding advanced and eco-friendly sustainable
packaging materials with improved physical, mechanical and barrier properties. The …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a fascinating polymer with a three-dimensional structure formed
by nanofibers of pure cellulose, synthesized by some bacteria and organized as a coherent …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers are one of the stiffest organic materials produced by
nature. It consists of pure cellulose without the impurities that are commonly found in plant …

Since economic and environmental issues have become critical in the last several years, the
amount of sustainable bio-based production has increased. In this article, microbial …

Plant fibers are hydrophilic in nature due to attraction/interaction between the hydroxyl
groups of fiber components and water molecules. The hydrophilic nature of plant fibers often …

Nanocellulose, which is cellulose in the form of nanostructures, has emerged as one of the
most significant green materials of our time in recent years because of their appealing and …

This work investigates the surface and bulk properties of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and
bacterial cellulose (BC), as well as their reinforcing ability in polymer nanocomposites. BC …
