Abstract

A wide range of research on the science and technology of nano-scale cellulose, mainly cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), has been conducted worldwide because of nanocellulose’s unique distinguishing properties for various application fields. Nanocellulose can be produced from any type of lignocellulosic biomass and, so far, various production methods have been introduced. Recently, industries and institutes worldwide have attempted to scale-up the production of nanocelullose to produce it in large quantities to support its research and applications development. This review provides a short summary of previously published research and review papers on the preparation methods of nanocellulose, targeting the research activities of our interest.

Keywords
