摘要

Three kinds of nanocelluloses, i.e., cellulose nanocrystals, microfibrillated cellulose, and bacterial nanocellulose, have attracted many attentions over the last decades. The formation, dimension, morphology, and properties of them were introduced in this chapter briefly. Depending on their unique and excellent characteristics, these nanocelluloses have been employed as raw materials to produce various novel functional materials, including films, membranes, hydrogels, aerogels, microcapsules, and nanocomposites, by using different fabrication approaches. Their properties and potential application were also discussed comprehensively.
