Abstract

The exceptional physical and chemical properties of nanocellulose enable the production of specific materials and applications in the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, paper and construction materials. New methods of producing nanocellulose are being explored today with new technologies to reduce energy consumption and obtain advanced properties of nanocellulose. The nature and presence of functional groups on the surface of nanocellulose determine its properties and potential applications. This article describes the chemical methods used to modify nanocellulose and their influence on the physicochemical properties of nanocellulose.

Keywords
