Abstract: Nanocellulose the organic nanomaterial is an emerging and promising material with exceptional properties and a broad spectrum of potential applications in numerous fields, i. e. pharmaceutics, biomedical, food ingredients, cosmetic additives, packaging materials, hygiene products, film and absorbance media, electronics, barrier films, membranes, nanocomposites and supercapacitors etc. Due to its unique structural features and remarkable physicochemical properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, renewability, low density, optical transparency, adaptable surface chemistry and improved mechanical properties nanocellulose has drawn tremendous attention in academia as well as in industrial sector. The main aim of this article is to provide an overview of recent research in the field of nanocellulose production from different pre treatments and methods.

Keywords: Nanocellulose, Renewable, Production, Processes
