Abstract
Recent years have seen the emergence of nanocellulose (NC), or cellulose in the form of nanostructures, as one of the most significant green materials now accessible. Due to their enticing and extraordinary characteristics, such as their abundance, high aspect ratio, outstanding mechanical capabilities, renewability, and biocompatibility, NC materials have garnered increased interest. This Review paper provides in detail information about the production method of nanocellulose, such as chemical methods, mechanical techniques, and from Feedstock for nanocellulose production. Each section includes a summary of the theme's related field and the most recent work done by the entities mentioned. Currently, on an industrial scale at tonnes per day, nanocellulose can be used in a various application in our daily lives, including tissue engineering, water purification, food packaging, Drug delivery, environmental protection field, electronic sensors, batteries, as well as in paper, polymer, medical, food processing industry, and more.
