Abstract
Nanocellulose is a natural and biodegradable material derived from renewable lignocellulosic raw materials such as wood biomass, agricultural residues, and residues from cellulose and paper manufacturing. Recently, nanocellulose has attracted increasing interest as a green material of the modern era due to its attractive characteristics such as excellent mechanical properties, large surface area, and large number of hydroxyl groups, which allow a wide range of material modifications. In this paper, the methods of producing nanocellulose from lignocellulosic raw materials using mechanical and physicochemical processes are described, with particular attention paid to pretreatment methods using enzymes.
