TL;DR: An overview of recent progress in the area of cellulose nanofibre-based nanocomposites is given in this article, with particular emphasis on applications, such as reinforced adhesives, to make optically transparent paper for electronic displays, to create DNA-hybrid materials, to generate hierarchical composites and for use in foams, aerogels and starch nanocom composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Recent Research into Cellulosic Whiskers, Their Properties and Their Application in Nanocomposite Field
TL;DR: There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and deposited in a continuous fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on nanoparticles and nanostructured materials: history, sources, toxicity and regulations.
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to compare synthetic (engineered) and naturally occurring nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured materials (NSMs) to identify their nanoscale properties and to define the specific knowledge gaps related to the risk assessment of NPs and NSMs in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfibrillated cellulose - its barrier properties and applications in cellulosic materials: a review.
TL;DR: It is proposed to focus on the barrier properties of MFC used in films, in nanocomposites, or in paper coating to reduce the high energy consumption and produce new types of M FC materials on an industrial scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose in biomedicine: Current status and future prospect
Ning Lin,Alain Dufresne +1 more
TL;DR: The advancement of nanocellulose-based biomedical materials is summarized and discussed on the analysis of latest studies (especially reports from the past five years) and focused topics for nano cellulose in biomedicine research in this article are discussed.
