Nanocellulose and its reinforcing in various polymers

Authors

Abstract

Regarding to rising on environmental issues, the high rate use of oil resources and the need for ‎environmental friendly materials and processes, it led to many studies on materials derived from ‎renewable resources and has expanded biodegradable or recyclable products. One of these ‎renewable and environmental friendly resources is nanocellulose. nanocellulose studying, as ‎reinforcing agent in nanocomposites, has started since 15 years ago. In this review paper, we ‎investigated the possibility of nanocellulose reinforcing in different polymers and its drawbacks ‎have been discussed.‎
