Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

The extraction of nanocellulose from cellulosic fibers and development of nanocellulose-based composites and materials have revolutionized the field of renewable and sustainable materials. Nanocellulose is rod-like nanoparticles, which can be obtained from various sources like cotton, wood, agricultural residues, and bacteria. There are mainly two types of nanocellulose: cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) which are produced by chemical treatment method and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) which are obtained by mechanical or chemical treatments. Both materials exhibit unique and useful properties like abundance, renewability, excellent mechanical property, optical property, non-toxicity, tunable surface chemistry, eco-friendliness, and low cost. These properties make nanocellulose of great interest for the application in the field of food packaging. This book chapter aims to provide an overview of the recent developments in nanocellulose-reinforced composites for packaging applications.
