“…The US Forest Service reported that nanocellulose could add $600billion to the US economy by 2020. A similar study reported that ∼1 × 10 12 tons of cellulose and its derivatives were produced annually, which accounts for 1.8 × 10 9 billion USD business by 2020 (Thomas et al, 2020). According to Gama et al (2016), in the Philippines and Indonesia about 1,500 tons of BNC is produced and commercialized from the nata de coco farms (Gama et al, 2016).…”

“…According to NanoCrystalline Cellulose, 2019 report, Celluforce is reported as the highest NCC producing plants among commercial aspects, which has a production capacity of ∼300 tons annually (NanoCrystalline Cellulose, 2019). Thus, it is challenging to analyze and predict the final cost of nanocellulose but it is estimated at between 7-12 USD/kg of final product (Thomas et al, 2020).…”

Nanocellulose is a unique and natural compound extracted from native cellulose using different extraction techniques. Nanocellulose is currently attracting attention due to its excellent properties such as special surface chemistry, exceptional physical and chemical strength, and rich hydroxyl groups for modification. In addition, its significant biological properties, like biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, accompanied by being environmentally friendly, are added advantages. The current review is focused on the lignocellulosic biomass processing methods for nanocellulose production and their usage for eco-friendly and environmental sustainability. We have also described insights into different techniques by which cellulosic materials can be changed into cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Lastly, we further discussed how nano-cellulosic materials are being used in a variety of industries such as the food sector, biomedical hygiene products, health care, water purification, and sensors. In the review, the unique uses of nanocelluloses in the production of nanocomposite materials, like flexible supercapacitor and polymer matrix, toward minimizing the utilization of global fossil energy and environmental pollution are envisaged. Finally, the significant application of nanomaterials in the areas of packaging industries, health and hygienic sector, cosmetics, and other important sectors are discussed. In the aspect of techno-economically feasibility, nano-cellulose-based materials may prove to be outstanding, environment friendly, and mitigate effluent load.

“…The hydroxyl groups on one cellulose chain bond with the other to develop rigid and stable molecules, giving the plant stiffness and strength. The hydrogen bonding between cellulose chains makes it insoluble in water (Thomas et al, 2020). Fibrils are formed by joining cellulose molecules together.…”

There is an emerging environmental awareness and social concern regarding the environmental impact of the textile industry, highlighting the growing need for developing green and sustainable approaches throughout this industry’s supply chain. Upstream, due to population growth and the rise in consumption of textile fibers, new sustainable raw materials and processes must be found. Cellulose presents unique structural features, being the most important and available renewable resource for textiles. The physical and chemical modification reactions yielding fibers are of high commercial importance today. Recently developed technologies allow the production of filaments with the strongest tensile performance without dissolution or any other harmful and complex chemical processes. Fibers without solvents are thus on the verge of commercialization. In this review, the technologies for the production of cellulose-based textiles, their surface modification and the recent trends on sustainable cellulose sources, such as bacterial nanocellulose, are discussed. The life cycle assessment of several cellulose fiber production methods is also discussed.

“…239 This stringent requirement has been overcome by Bordoni et al who have successfully introduced freeform reversible embedding hydrogel (FRESH) 3D bioprinting that allows the use of low viscosity liquid ink. 240,241 A simplified schematic workflow of the FRESH 3D bioprinting technique can be seen in Figure 16; Briefly, a highly viscous gelatin supporting bath was used, wherein the liquid bioink was pumped through the nozzle for printing the crosslinked scaffold. Thereafter, the gelatin was melted in incubation and removed before seeding cells onto the structure.…”
