Summary
Nanocelluloses are promising green and renewable materials for various applications in this modern era. They possess nanostructures that make them desirable materials for advances and emerging technologies. They are renewable and sustainable with excellent mechanical properties, which are biocompatible for biological applications. In general, nanocelluloses are present either in nanostructured materials or nanofibers.
Various lignocellulosic materials can be utilized for nanocelluloses preparation through different processes. The source or the origin of lignocellulosic materials, method of isolation, and processing parameters strongly influence the morphology and physical characteristic of nanocelluloses. The latter determines the application of nanocelluloses. One of the interesting topics for the researcher for nanocelluloses production is the source of lignocellulosic materials. The unexplored lignocellulosic materials are still abundantly available, and the nanostructure of the nanocelluloses produced can provide new frontiers for a wide variety of applications.
This special issue will cover a wide variety of nanocelluloses, from production until their utilization. The topics include but not limited to:
· Nanocelluloses from various biomasses
· Modification of nanocelluloses
· Nanocelluloses for drug deliveries
· Nanocelluloses in food
· Nanocelluloses for cosmetics
· Nanocelluloses for catalysts

Nanocelluloses: Sources, Isolation, and Their Utilization)
Abstract The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of using surfactant (CTAB) and cellulose nanofibers (NFC) as an admixture in cement mortars. We examined composite properties as porosity, compression energy, thermal conductivity and hydration. The results showed that with the addition of 0.7% by weight of NFC per emulsion in the presence of a cationic surfactant (CTAB). The new material produced presented a dry porosity between 4.7% and 4.4%, compressive strength between 9.8 and 22.9 MPa, and thermal conductivity between 0.95 and 2.25 W·m−1·K−1. Thus we show better mechanical and thermal performance than that traditional Portland cement mortar… More >
