A Review of Properties of Nanocellulose, Its Synthesis, and Potential in Biomedical Applications

Cellulose is the most venerable and essential natural polymer on planet drawing greater attention in form of nanocellulose, considered an innovative influential material biomedical field. Because its exceptional physicochemical characteristics, biodegradability, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, nanocellulose attracts considerable scientific attention. Plants, algae, microorganisms are some familiar sources usually grouped as cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), nanofibril (CNF), bacterial (BNC). The current review briefly highlights classification attractive properties. Further functionalization or chemical modifications enhance effectiveness biodegradability nanocellulose. Nanocellulose-based composites, printing methods, their potential applications field have also been introduced herein. Finally, study summarized with future prospects challenges associated nanocellulose-based materials to promote studies resolving issues related for tissue engineering applications.
