Abstract
The groundbreaking potential of nanotechnology guarantees extensive development opportunities in the textile industry. The quality of textiles can be enhanced for specialized and general applications with nanomaterials embedded into the polymer matrix part or coated onto the fiber surface. Nanocellulose is a naturally occurring nanomaterial usually obtained from cell wall of the plant. The properties of nanocellulose include good stiffness and strength along with large surface area. The reform of textile surface is possible with the large number of hydroxyl groups in the nanocellulose particle structure. The fibers of nanocellulose are less expensive, electrically conductive, provides less weight and high resistance, indicating their capability for a wide range of applications. Nanocellulose fibers are also not sensitive to environmental changes. This chapter gives an insight into the experimental procedure for the preparation of nanocellulose, characterization of nanocellulose particles, and their effects on the modification in textiles.
