AB  - Nanocellulose-based adhesives are gaining attention as a viable alternative to conventional adhesives, offering benefits such as cost-effectiveness and scalability, which make them suitable for various sectors, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biodegradable products, and as reinforcing agents in natural adhesives. This review delves into the current advancements in nanocellulose-based adhesive solutions for sustainable and eco-friendly wood composites, using systematic review methods and bibliometric analysis. Data were collected from the Scopus database, spanning from 2007 to 2024, and visualized using VOSviewer to highlight emerging trends in the field. The analysis revealed that nanocellulose shows great potential as a reinforcing component for traditional adhesives used in wood products such as phenol-formaldehyde (PF), urea-formaldehyde (UF), polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI), and melamine-urea adhesives. Nanocellulose, derived from the most abundant biopolymer, cellulose, has been utilized in its nanoscale form for adhesive applications. This review emphasizes the advancements in using cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) to develop sustainable adhesives. It explores both the challenges and future prospects for large-scale production and application of nanocellulose-based adhesives.
