Nanocellulose in Emulsions and Heterogeneous Water-Based Polymer Systems: A Review

Stephanie A. Kedzior et al.

Summary: Nanocelluloses, including bacterial nanocellulose, cellulose nanocrystals, and cellulose nanofibrils, are cellulose-based materials with unique properties that can assemble at oil-water interfaces and provide new functionality to emulsion and latex systems. They offer unprecedented control as property modifiers for emulsion and polymer applications, influencing properties such as emulsion type, stability, and stimuli-responsive behavior. Nanocellulose can tune polymer particle properties and be used to produce capsules and polymer nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical, thermal, and adhesive properties.
