Abstract
Cellulose Nanocrystal, known as CNCs, is a form of material that can be produced by synthesizing carbon from naturally occurring substances, such as plants. Due to the unique properties it possesses, including a large surface area, impressive mechanical strength, and the ability to biodegrade, it draws significant attractions to the researchers nowadays. Several methods are available to prepare CNC, such as acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, and mechanical procedures. Characterization of CNC includes X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering, etc. In this article, recent development of CNC preparation and their characterizations are thoroughly discussed. Significant breakthroughs are listed accordingly. Furthermore, a variety of CNC applications such as paper and packaging, biological applications, and energy storage, etc. are illustrated. This study demonstrates the insights of using of CNC as the potential environmentally friendly materials with remarkable properties.
