ABSTRACT

The interest in nanocellulose has increased exponentially. During the last decade, this bio-based nanomaterial was essentially used in nanocomposites for its reinforcing properties. Its nano-scale dimensions and ability to form a strong entangled nanoporous network have encouraged the emergence of new high added value applications. Packaging is a potential application field of nanocellulose. Promising mechanical, optical and barrier properties are encouraging characteristics.
