Properties and Fabrication Methods of Nanocellulose Fibers: A Review

In the last two decades, the application of lignocellulosic fibers, as reinforcing agents of thermoplastic composites, in automobile, packaging and building industries have significantly grown due to recent environmental issues. Lignocellulosic fibers with desirable properties such as low density, specific strength, high modulus, renewability, biodegradability, high availability and low cost are appropriate alternatives to synthetic fibers. Therefore, due to these unique characteristics, in this study, we have investigated the properties and fabrication methods of nanocellulose fibers.
