Over the last few years the
conversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass and natural
biopolymers into chemicals, liquid fuels and feed supplements has
received increasing attention. The exploitation of nanostructured
cellulose, in the form of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC),
micro/nanofibrillar cellulose (MFC/NFC) and bacterial cellulose (BC)
has mainly been motivated by the sustainability trend,
ever-increasing prices of petroleum and the high-energy intensity in
production of chemicals and synthetic polymers. This growing interest
is related to their unsurpassed quintessential physical and chemical
properties.

Today there is a substantial
amount of research on these materials, and commercial development is
now underway with some very promising applications. With appropriate
conversion and extraction technologies as well as modification and
characterization, nanocellulose can be integrated into bio-based
products. Their use in novel materials and various applications has
substantial environmental and economic benefits. Nanocellulose can be
produced from several raw materials and applying various
pre-treatments, which yield tailor-made nanofibrils with specific
morphology and surface chemistry. The material has great potential in
applications such as strength enhancers in paper, as additives, in
emulsions, as oxygen barriers for food packaging and in biomedical
devices.

Nanocellulose is also being
developed for use in novel applications ranging from scaffolds in
tissue engineering, artificial skin and cartilage, wound healing and
vessel substitutes to biodegradable food packaging. Applications in
polymer reinforcement and anti-microbial films will be hitting the
market soon. FP Innovations estimates the market to be worth $250
million in North America by 2020.
