Abstract
Recently, the biopolymer cellulose-based versatile materials are investigated for multifunctional clean and sustainable environmental technologies. Because of unique structure and chemical properties, nano-cellulosic materials and cellulose by-products can be obtained through various physical and chemical processes, making such materials more abundant. Consequently, cellulose-based materials are widely scalable in various aspects like coatings, fabrics, research laboratories, healthcare products, and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the cellulose-based sustainable materials are easy to tailor and handle with high mechanical strength and biodegradable features. Such materials have also been used to create adaptable and transparent catalysts for wastewater treatment and environmental applications. This review article, therefore, focussed on the functionalization techniques of sustainable cellulosic material with specific emphasis on nano- structures for multifunctional applications in various fields. The frontiers and challenges of advanced nano-cellulosic materials for clean and sustainable environmental technologies also form the subject matter of the review. The innovative improvements in such materials are critical to transforming and promoting the technologies in practice.
