Abstract

Abstract Green composites are materials having ecofriendly attributes that are technically and economically feasible while minimizing the generation of pollution. In this context it refers to the combination of fully degradable fibers mostly cellulosic materials and natural resins to develop green composite materials. In the past decade, overdependence on petroleum products (synthetic polymers, resins, etc.) has consistently increased and on account of this, the researchers are now focusing more on green materials specially cellulosics. Cellulosic fibers in micro and nano scale are attractive to replace man-made fibers as reinforcement to make environmentally friendly green products. In this study, we will discuss the processing, extraction, properties, chronological events and applications of cellulose and cellulosic-based nanocomposite materials. Cellulosic nanocomposites are currently considered one of the most promising areas of scientific and technological development in the field of plant products. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the current state of development in the field of cellulose nanofibril based green composites research and application through examples.
