Nanocellulose: Versatile and Ageless Biopolymer for The Future

Nanocellulose is cellulose at nanosized level that can be prepared from lignocellulosic materials, marine animals, algae and bacteria. It has become an interesting nanomaterial because of its remarkable mechanical, physical and chemical properties. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and Bacterial cellulose (BNC) are the three types of nanocellulose that produced by different methods, and each type of nanocellulose exhibits distinct properties that are useful for specific applications and functions.
