In plant cell walls, stiff semicrystalline nano dimensional cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a pliable amorphous matrix where the size and shape of the cellulose fibrils are controlled by the dimensions of crystalline regions, providing them a unique structural and physical combination to be applied as load-bearing constituent in composites. The qualities such as specific orientation under magnetic field, extraction through simple process, abundantly available source from nature and desirable modifications have deliberately directed the intense research efforts in a number of disciplines ranging from commodity to higher applications, not only in the area of high performance polymer based composites but also to develop biosensors, magnetic strips and optical devices. The present work is focused on the use of cellulose nano-fillers for creating the self-healing function and their effect on material properties of resulting composites. The present work is in initial stage and reviews the use of cellulose nano-fillers for creating the self-healing function and their effect on material properties of resulting composites.
