Nanocellulose is increasingly important due to its abundance and sustainability sources, outstanding physicochemical properties, low density, high specific surface area, and easily modified surface chemistry. Nanocellulose is obtained from various sources, such as plants, algae, and bacteria, with plant-derived nanocellulose being the most common. Their presence significantly benefits many applications, especially in developing advanced materials for high end-use. Despite these benefits, the intrinsic hydrophilic behavior complicates dispersion in hydrophobic polymer matrices due to aggregation issues that result in deterioration properties. Nanocellulose modification and surface tuning are identified as fundamental approaches for improving the compatibility of the interfacial interaction between nanocellulose and polymer matrix to impart new functionalities to novel advanced materials. This article offers insight into nanocellulose by highlighting various lignocellulosic biomass sources and their chemical constituents. Three categories of nanocellulose are discussed in this review, including cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, and bacterial nanocellulose. This article also featured several methods for promoting surface modification of nanocellulose to overcome the compatibility barrier between nanocellulose and polymer matrix to achieve a balanced hydrophilic-hydrophobic behavior. A few recent and emerging applications of nanocellulose-based composites are also presented in this review.

“…Nanocellulose's strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction and high surface energy caused it to aggregate in a variety of environments, according to research. Therefore, nanocellulose's surface characteristics and interfacial compatibility are critical to its functionalization and practical application [61,[128][129][130]. There are several reviews on the surface modification of nanocellulose to improve interfacial compatibility that have been published so far [131,132].…”

Nanocellulose has emerged in recent years as one of the most notable green materials available due to its numerous appealing factors, including its non-toxic nature, biodegradability, high aspect ratio, superior mechanical capabilities, remarkable optical properties, anisotropic shape, high mechanical strength, excellent biocompatibility and tailorable surface chemistry. It is proving to be a promising material in a range of applications pertinent to the material engineering to biomedical applications. In this review, recent advances in the preparation, modification, and emerging application of nanocellulose, especially cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are described and discussed based on the analysis of the latest investigations. This review presents an overview of general concepts in nanocellulose-based nanocomposites for sustainable applications. Beginning with a brief introduction of cellulose, nanocellulose sources, structural characteristics and the extraction process for those new to the area, we go on to more in-depth content. Following that, the research on techniques used to modify the surface properties of nanocellulose by functionalizing surface hydroxyl groups to impart desirable hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance, as well as their characteristics and functionalization strategies, were explained. The usage of nanocellulose in nanocomposites in versatile fields, as well as novel and foreseen markets of nanocellulose products, are also discussed. Finally, the difficulties, challenges and prospects of materials based on nanocellulose are then discussed in the last section for readers searching for future high-end eco-friendly functional materials.
